This poll, conducted May 16-17, 2006, 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 were asked to give their opinions on the most important problem the country was facing, the national economy, the war in Iraq, as well as to rate the job performance of the United States Congress. Respondents were also asked about the way President George W. Bush was handling the economy, the war in Iraq, terrorism, and immigration. They were also asked whether they approved of his overall job performance. The survey also sought respondents' opinions on immigration, immigrants, and placing the national guard at the border of the United States and Mexico. Additional questions addressed government wiretapping, credit card and phone number privacy, and the 2003 CIA leak. Background information on respondents includes military service, voter registration status, party identification, marital status, sex, religious preference, education record, age, ethnicity, and income.
