PERSON: Pat Caddell (Deceased)
Biography
Patrick Hayward Caddell (May 19, 1950 – February 16, 2019) was an American public opinion pollster and a political film consultant who served in the Carter administration. He worked for Democratic presidential candidates George McGovern in 1972, Jimmy Carter in 1976 and 1980, Gary Hart in 1984 (primary), Walter Mondale in 1984 (general election), Joe Biden in 1988, and Jerry Brown in 1992. He also worked for Mario Cuomo, Bob Graham, Michael Dukakis, Paul Simon, Ted Kennedy, Harold Washington, Andrew Romanoff and Donald Trump.
After suffering a stroke, Caddell died on February 16, 2019, at age 68 at a hospital in Charleston, South Carolina. He had moved to a house down the block from his daughter, Heidi Caddell Echelberger, and her three children, Olivia Emily Echelberger, 13, Patrick Travis Echelberger, 12, and Janie Kate Echelberger, 11, in Hanahan, South Carolina, in the last decade of his life. According to Professor Kendra Stewart at the College of Charleston, Caddell had not been ill prior to his stroke and his death was a shock to those who knew him. Conservative pundit Ann Coulter, pollster Scott Rasmussen, Democratic political operative Joe Trippi, White House Communications Director Bill Shine, political consultant Douglas Schoen, businessman and former independent Senate candidate Greg Orman, political analyst James Pinkerton, and commentator John LeBoutillier were among those who attended his funeral.
In a statement, former President Jimmy Carter said,
“Pat Caddell was a brilliant pollster who at a young age provided me with key information and over his career helped to shape the future of professional research. Rosalynn and I are grateful for his counsel in our campaigns and while we were in the White House. We send our prayers to his family and friends.”
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway expressed her condolences on Twitter, stating that,
“Pat Caddell (Carter) & Richard Wirthlin (Reagan) helped revolutionize the use of polling in presidential campaigns, and guided/encouraged newbie pollsters like me. Pat was in the fight until the end and will be missed.”
