Summary

This poll, conducted October 16, 2000, is part of a continuing series of surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. The study was conducted to assess respondents' interest in and opinions about the 2000 election campaign for United States president. Respondents were asked for their opinions of Republican candidate and Texas governor George W. Bush and Democratic candidate and Vice President Al Gore, prior to the third presidential debate held October 17, 2001. Those polled answered a set of questions comparing Bush and Gore as candidates in terms of their qualities, their abilities to be an effective president, and whether they were likely to reduce taxes, improve education, reduce the cost of prescription drugs for the elderly, and make health care affordable for everyone. Respondents were asked whether they watched and/or listened to the first two debates, who they thought won the debates, whether they learned anything from the debates that helped their decision-making or changed their minds, and whether they planned to watch the final presidential debate to be held on October 17. Respondents were also asked whom they intended to vote for in the upcoming election: Gore (Democratic Party candidate), Bush (Republican Party candidate), Pat Buchanan (Reform Party candidate), or Ralph Nader (Green Party candidate). Background information on respondents includes age, gender, political party, political orientation, voter registration and participation history, religion, marital status, education, Hispanic descent, race, years in community, children in household, and household income.
