How large a role do you think public opinion play in shaping governmental policies in the united states today

I believe that public opinion plays a large role in  shaping governmental policies in the United States today. The easiest example i can make of this is peer pressure. If people are telling you to do something over and over again, your most likely to do it at one point or another. The same goes for shaping governmental policies today. The government is listening to the people and what they want, and if many people want the same thing, that thing is most likely to happen. The government is supposedly being "peer-pressured" into into making these governmental policies. That is why I believe that public opinion plays a large role in shaping governmental policies in the United states today.
