Patrick Caddell, the political pollster who helped send an obscure peanut farmer named Jimmy Carter to the White House, later became disillusioned with fellow Democrats and finally veered to advise supporters of Donald J. Trump, died on Saturday in Charleston, S.C. He was 68. His death, from complications of a stroke, was confirmed by a colleague, Prof. Kendra Stewart of the College of Charleston.
Patrick Hayward Caddell was born on May 19, 1950, in Rock Hill, S.C. His mother was Janie (Burns) Caddell. His father, Newton P. Caddell, was a Coast Guard chief warrant officer.

RIP. I always enjoyed Pat’s honesty.
Same here, he was a character. RIP
Pat Caddell was one of those honest liberals you dont see anymore..he was the way liberals used to be, before they became hardcore communist..I enjoyed him on Fox News he was a good man, you could disagree with him and by the end of the show shake his hand..RIP Pat, gone too soon
Me too, I loved watching him. Very sad
I wondered why he was no longer on Fox (or at least I hadn’t seen him in the last few years). He seemed like a fine, upstanding guy. RIP, Pat!
I’m surprised he was only 68! I appreciated his perspectives on Fox News. RIP.
One of the last few honest democrats. You did a good job Pat, you can go to God with a smile on your face.
One of the last of the Mohicans.
Pat came from a time where many high profile Dems were also nice people.
He had been looking ill for a long time.
A great loss
May the angels sing him home
Wow, too early. I turned 72 today. Back from the brink of diabetes eight months ago and didn’t know it. Down 38 pounds.
Deep state finally got him.
Interesting. I didn’t realize he was so young when he was working for Jimmah
Pat Caddell, the last honest democrat.
RIP Pat.
Good man....May he rest-in-peace, forever!!!
RIP
Sad/RIP Pat :-(
One of the few decent, honest Democrats.
During the 2016 campaign, Caddell, Doug Schoen, and John LeBoutillier were a regular panel on The Fox Report every Sunday. They were an interesting and substantive group, worth watching.
Caddell always seemed to be having a good time.
Pat Caddell was a pure delight.
He truly was an honest Democrat who hated today’s Demonic-Rats.
He will be forever missed and long remembered.
He’s left a great impact.
God hold him dear.
I’m so sorry to hear about Pat Caddell passing away. He was a reasonable intellect that went from Carter to Trump and had some very wise words for Democrats that they should have heeded. I enjoyed listening to him.
