| Summary: | This special topic poll, fielded March 26, 1999, sought
respondents' views on United States involvement in the Serbian region
of Kosovo and the air strikes, launched March 24, 1999, by the United
States and its European allies, against Serbia. Those queried were
asked whether they possessed a sound understanding of the conflict,
whether President Bill Clinton had handled the situation
appropriately, and whether America's vital interests were at stake in
Kosovo. Respondents were asked whether they supported the air strikes
against Serbia, whether they believed reports that the bombing had
actually increased the attacks on Kosovar civilians by the Serbian
forces, and whether peace in Kosovo was worth the loss of American
soldiers' lives. An additional question addressed the March 26, 1999,
conviction of Dr. Jack Kevorkian of second-degree murder, for causing
the death of a terminally ill patient who asked for his
assistance. The results of the poll were announced on the ABC
television program "Nightline." Background information on
respondents includes sex and political party. |
