Keith T. Poole (born 1947)[1] is an American political scientist and the Philip H. Alston Jr. Distinguished Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Georgia. He has compiled and maintained datasets related to the United States Congress for forty years, and he has made them available on his website, Voteview, since 1995.[2] Poole originally developed Voteview as a DOS with Howard Rosenthal at Carnegie-Mellon University from 1989 to 1992. He also worked with Rosenthal on the development of the NOMINATE multidimensional scaling method to assess the voting behavior of members of Congress along a given dimension.[3] He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2006.[4] In 2016, he received the Society for Political Methodology's Career Achievement Award,[1] and in 2018, the journal Public Choice published a special issue in his honor.[5]
