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 to comment on what they thought was the most important problem facing the country, and to give their approval rating of George Bush with respect to his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy. Questions were also posed regarding respondents' vote intentions for the 1992 presidential election, their opinions of 1992 presidential candidates, and the likelihood of their voting in the 1992 presidential election. Respondents were asked about the amount of attention they had paid to the 1992 presidential campaign, media coverage of the candidates, and the importance of a candidate's party affiliation. Those surveyed were asked whether George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot had strong qualities of leadership, whether they had said enough about where they stood on the issues, whether they really said what they believed most of the time, and how much they cared about the needs and problems of the people. The poll also posed questions pertaining to whether the candidates exhibited good judgment under pressure, whether they were likely to raise taxes, if they shared the moral values of other Americans, and whether they had offered specific ideas to solve important problems. Additional questions dealt with national health insurance, abortion, gasoline taxes, family finances, selling Mexican goods in the United States, the national economy, buying a new car or house, how well congressional representatives were handling their jobs, and how the United States House of Representatives should vote if none of the candidates wins an Electoral College majority.

This poll, conducted December 9-10, 2000, 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. The study was conducted to assess respondents' interest in and opinions about the 2000 presidential election. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton and his handling of the presidency, as well as their opinions of both candidates, Vice President Al Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush. Those polled were asked whether Bush and Gore would be able to lead the country effectively and whether they would bring together or divide different groups of Americans. The survey also queried respondents on the legitimacy of the election, the way the Bush and Gore campaigns handled the election, the way elections in the United States are run and votes are counted, the need for election reforms, the electoral college, and the effects of the election controversy on the institution of the United States presidency. A number of questions concentrated on Florida's vote recount. Those polled were asked whom voters in Florida intended to vote for and whether the vote count in Florida was fair and accurate. Respondents also commented on the way the courts had handled the lawsuits dealing with the Florida vote, the manual recounts of disputed votes in Florida, and the manual recounts of all ballots in Florida. Their views were elicited on whom they would rather see become president, how much confidence they had in the vote counting, what voting method they used, when they thought the outcome would finally be resolved, whether one of the candidates should concede, and if so, who, and whether they approved of the legislature naming its electors before the outcome had been determined. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, education, race/ethnic identity, political party affiliation, political orientation, marital status, children in the household, and household income.

CBS News Post Election Call-Back Poll, November 2000 (ICPSR 3236)
Released/updated on: 2005-02-18
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2000-11-01--2000-11-30
This poll, conducted November 10-12, 2000, is a call-back poll following a poll conducted November 1-4, 2000. It is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of political and social issues. Views were sought on President Bill Clinton and his handling of the presidency and whether the country was going in the right or wrong direction. Prior to the 2000 presidential election, respondents were asked how much attention they paid to it, the likelihood that they would vote, whether their mind was made up, whom they would vote for (Democrat Al Gore, Republican George W. Bush, Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan, or Green Party candidate Ralph Nader), who they expected to win, and whether it made a difference who was elected president. Opinions were solicited on George W. Bush and Al Gore, and the likelihood that each candidate would maintain a strong national economy, improve education, correctly handle an international crisis, preserve Social Security, and appoint pro-choice Supreme Court Justices. Questions were posed regarding how much respondents had heard or read about George W. Bush's 1976 drunk driving arrest, whether it would make a difference in their vote, and whether Bush should have made this information public earlier in his campaign. Following election day, respondents were polled on whether they had voted, which presidential candidate they had voted for, how closely they followed the election results, if the closeness of the election made them regret not voting or wish they had voted for another candidate, and the seriousness of the mistakes made by network television in reporting the election results. Several questions addressed whether the Electoral College should be kept or eliminated, whether the winner of the electoral vote or the popular vote had a more legitimate claim to the presidency, and whether a candidate who won the Electoral College vote but not the popular vote could effectively lead the country. Opinions were solicited on how George W. Bush and Al Gore were handling the uncertain outcome of the presidential election, whether either candidate was placing politics above the good of the country, whether Palm Beach County, Florida, should have a re-vote, how confident respondents were that their own votes were counted properly, and whether the country's uncertainty over its next president was a serious problem. Background variables include sex, age, ethnicity, length of residency, income, marital status, religion, education, labor union membership, number of telephone lines, whether they were children in the household, political orientation, political party affiliation, and voter registration and participation history.

This special topic poll, fielded November 12, 2000, 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. This data collection focused on the presidential election that took place on November 7, 2000. Respondents were asked about the extent of their personal interest in and concern about the situation in the country five days after the election. Questions examined opinions on the way various groups were handling the election, including Vice President Al Gore's and Texas governor George W. Bush's campaigns, local officials in Florida, and the news media. Respondents were also asked whom they wanted to see become the next president. Opinions were elicited on the need for a new presidential election in Palm Beach County, Florida, in the entire state of Florida, in other states where election results were very close, and across the entire country. Additional topics covered whether George W. Bush and Al Gore should accept the recount in Florida or should ask courts to look into whether the voting was unfair and if they should ask for a recount in other states where the results were very close. Those polled expressed their views about electing the president by direct popular vote versus by the Electoral College, their confidence about the accuracy of Florida's recount, and whether the ballot that was used in Palm Beach County was fair. The survey also investigated what impact the unclear post-election situation would have, especially on the country's system of presidential elections. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, education, race, party affiliation, political orientation, and voter registration.
