Summary View help for Summary
This poll, fielded August 26-28, 1996, 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 and his handling of the presidency, as well as their views on Vice President Al Gore, Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole and his running mate Jack Kemp, Reform party candidate Ross Perot, and First Lady Hillary Clinton. Those queried were asked for their opinions about the 1996 presidential and congressional elections, and the commitment of the Democratic and Republican parties to the creation of a strong economy, a fair tax system, and the achievement of the "American dream". Respondents were also asked to identify the greatest achievement and disappointment of the Clinton presidency and to provide opinions on the recent welfare bill. Other topics covered the role of government in people's lives, the role of the media during the political conventions, the regulation of tobacco, the 1992 election, and whether Clinton could be trusted. Background information on respondents includes age, race, sex, education, religion, political party, political orientation, age of children in household, voter registration and participation history, and family income.
