Summary View help for Summary

This poll 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 George W. Bush and his handling of the presidency, the economy, and other issues. Respondents were queried regarding whether the country should follow the lead of President Bush or the Democrats in Congress, how the positions of the Democratic Party compared with those of the Republican Party with respect to political moderates, and whether the federal government or individual state governments provided better regulation of health plans. Respondents also answered a series of questions about the impact on the country of the Democrats' taking control of the Senate, whether Bush's views on most issues were too conservative, too liberal, or just right, and what the federal government's role in, and responses to, the problem of regional energy shortages should be. In addition, respondents were queried regarding the consequences of the $1.4 trillion tax cut, whether they preferred the tax cut to more federal spending on domestic programs, and what they planned to do with their tax refund checks when they received them. Those queried were also asked to assess their level of concern regarding Congress's role in making it easier for managed care patients to sue their health plans. Opinions were also solicited as to whether the federal judges nominated by Bush were too conservative, too liberal, or just right. Background information includes the respondent's political affiliation, education level, religious tendencies, race, income level, and gender.
