Summary

This poll 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 for their opinions of President Bill Clinton and his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy, as well as their opinions of Bob Dole, Lamar Alexander, Pat Buchanan, Steve Forbes, Phil Gramm, and Ross Perot. Those queried were also asked to rate the economy and to provide their opinions on the Bosnia situation -- specifically, whether the United States should send ground troops to Bosnia in a variety of situations. Other topics covered Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, tax cuts, and the federal budget debate. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, and family income.
