Those queried were also asked for their general perceptions of Clinton, Boris Yeltsin, Hillary Clinton, Bob Dole, Newt Gingrich, and Dr. Henry Foster. In addition, respondents were questioned in detail on the institution of marriage, including questions on the frequency of arguments and sexual relations.
