Summary

This poll, fielded March 28, 1999, 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, foreign policy, and the economy, as well as their views on United States and NATO involvement in the Kosovo war between the Albanians and the Serbs. Respondents were also asked how long they estimated the air strikes would continue, if they would favor or oppose sending United States ground troops to Kosovo, and if the fighting in Kosovo would lead to fighting in neighboring countries. Those queried were asked if they followed the news, if they favored the air strikes, if they understood the situation in Kosovo, and if the United States should be involved. Views were also sought on whether United States involvement in Kosovo would damage relationships with other foreign countries, particularly Russia and China. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, race, education, religion, political party, political orientation, voter participation history, marital status, age of children in household, family income, and computer access.
