Summary View help for Summary
This poll, fielded May 2013, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicits public opinion on a range of political and social issues. Respondents were asked how Barack Obama was handling the presidency, and if they felt the country was going in the right direction. Multiple questions were asked about what is considered to be a successful man, including how much influence a mother has to make her son the perfect man, what is the most important quality for a man to have, what makes a man flawed, and at what age a man is considered to be successful. Further questions examined recreational activities, such as attendance to baseball games and live theater performances. Female respondents were asked multiple questions, including how smart the perfect man should be compared to themselves, what TV character they would marry, whether they wear make-up, how often they buy make-up, and how often they leave home without wearing any make-up. Demographic information includes sex, age, race, marital status, employment status, education level, household income, household composition, religious preference, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), political party affiliation, political philosophy, and whether respondents thought of themselves as born-again Christians.

Weight View help for Weight
The data contain a weight variable (wght) that should be used in analyzing the data. The data were weighted to match United States Census Bureau breakdowns on age, sex, race, education, and region of the country. The data were also adjusted for the fact that people who share a telephone with others have less chance to be contacted than people who live alone and have their own telephones, and that households with more than one telephone number have more chances to be called than households with only one telephone number.
