CELINDA WHO?

CNN describes Celinda Lake as "leading Democratic pollster" and out of curiosity, I searched for her full name in LexisNexis under Newspapers.  The most recent hit was in 2010 in an article by James Carville in the Financial Times:
The White House, Martha Coakley, the Massachusetts attorney-general, Celinda Lake, her pollster, congressional Democrats, the Democratic National Committee, Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker, and Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, are just a few of the circular firing squad that has sucked up every last breath in Washington this past week.
When I searched Broadcast Transcripts, the last mention of Lake was in January 2014 on the Rachel Maddow Show. The one before that is from 2013.

Overall, I don't see why Lake is described as a leading pollster.
