A total of 1,216 respondents completed interviews during the pre-election component, 854 of whom were reinterviewed for the post-election component.

Also included were questions regarding social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of candidates and groups, opinions on questions of public policy, participation in political life, race and gender issues, economic matters, quality of life, government spending, and religion and church politics.
