This poll, conducted July 13-14, 1997, 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 of President Bill Clinton, his integrity, and his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy. Those queried were also asked for their opinions of Senator Fred Thompson and Vice President Al Gore. In addition, respondents were questioned about United States space exploration programs, the Mir space station, the Mars Pathfinder Mission, and whether they believed in the existence of life elsewhere in the universe. Other items covered Kenneth Starr and the Whitewater investigation, 1996 Democratic campaign fundraising activities and hearings, the role of the Chinese government's contributions, and the importance of the campaign fundraising investigation findings to the nation. Background information on respondents includes political party, political orientation, religion, education, age, sex, race, family income, and age of children in household.
