Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton, former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, Reform Party member Ross Perot, former Colorado governor Richard Lamm, Vice President Al Gore, First Lady Hillary Clinton, retired General Colin Powell, American Red Cross president Elizabeth Dole, and conservative commentator Pat Buchanan. Those queried were asked for their opinions about the upcoming 1996 presidential and congressional elections and the commitment of the Democratic and Republican parties to welfare, Medicare, the economy, the tax system, the pursuit of the American dream, and gender-specific needs. Other topics covered affirmative action, organized prayer in schools, term limits, abortion, legal immigrants, and the role of government. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, race, age of children in household, political party, political orientation, voter registration and participation history, religion, marital status, United States armed forces service, education, and family income.
