Summary

This special topic poll was conducted by ABC News and ESPN and sought respondents' views on Barry Bonds and the use of steroids in Major League Baseball. Respondents were asked to give their opinions on whether the use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs was a problem in baseball. Respondents were further asked whether they thought Barry Bonds had utilized steroids or performance-enhancing drugs and whether that would have an impact on how they felt about him potentially breaking baseball's homerun record. Questions were also solicited regarding the possibility of Barry Bonds being elected to the Hall of Fame and whether the use of steroids or a conviction of tax evasion should prevent him from being selected. Demographic variables include race, gender, age, level of education, employment status, income, political party affiliation, political philosophy, and religious affiliation.

Weight

The data contain a weight variable (WEIGHT) that should be used in analyzing the data. The data were weighted using demographic information from the Census to adjust for sampling and nonsampling deviations from population values. Respondents customarily were classified into 1 of 48 cells based on age, race, sex and education. Weights were assigned so the proportion in each of these 48 cells matched the actual population proportion according to the Census Bureau's most recent Current Population Survey.
