Summary

This special topic poll, conducted October 14-17, 2004, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents, living in Ohio, were asked to give their opinions of President George W. Bush and how he was handling his presidency, of the state of the economy, and of their own financial situations during the Bush presidency. Questions posed to respondents concerning the 2004 presidential election addressed topics such as how closely they were following the election, their chances of voting, their candidate preferences, their perceptions of the candidates, and the most important issue in the presidential election. Respondents also were asked whether they voted in previous presidential elections, what was the most important issue on the voting ballot, about the war in Iraq, whether the United States was safer compared to 2001 prior to September 11, 2001, and whether respondents had been contacted by the Bush or Kerry campaign. Issues specific to Ohio were explored with questions about candidate preferences in the Ohio senate election and about an Ohio constitutional amendment concerning marriage. Background information includes age, children under 18 in the household, education, household income, marital status, military veteran status, Ohio region of residence, political party affiliation, political ideology, race, religious affiliation, sex, union membership status, voter registration status, whether the respondent voted in the 2000 presidential election, and if the respondent did vote in 2000, for whom the respondent voted: George W. Bush (Republican), Al Gore (Democrat), Ralph Nader (Independent), or Pat Buchanan (Independent).
