In a business rife with partisan charlatans, Andy was a trustworthy institution. The polling he supervised at Pew Research was rock solid, bipartisan, fascinating. He was my go-to guy whenever I had a question about public opinion….sometimes my questions were pretty obscure, but Andy was always fascinated by a new challenge, a question that had not yet been asked. I feel lucky to have known him and worked with him. He surely will be missed. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4025566/andrew-kohut-passes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4025566/andrew-kohut-passes/"},"headline":"Andrew Kohut Passes","datePublished":"2015-09-08T19:28:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T10:46:05.813Z","description":"Sad news today: the magnificent opinion analyst Andrew Kohut has passed away, a victim of leukemia.
