Summary View help for Summary
This special topic poll was undertaken to solicit respondents' opinions on life in the District of Columbia in general, and in particular the quality of life, neighborhood conditions, and living preferences in DC. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of Anthony Williams, his handling of his job as mayor of the District, and his dealing with issues facing the community, as well as the way the city council was handling its job. Respondents also expressed their opinions on the importance of African Americans as a majority among the city council's members, the impact on respondents' medical care of the DC General Hospital being closed, and respondents' concerns about the possibility of more major terrorist attacks in the United States and in the Washington, DC, area. Those queried also estimated their level of confidence in the federal government's and the District government's abilities to respond effectively to a large-scale terrorist attack in the United States. A series of questions focused on the District's having a major league baseball team, and becoming a separate state like the other 50 states. Respondents also answered a set of questions regarding the gentrification of neighborhoods in Washington, DC, and its impact on the respondents' neighborhoods. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, living situation, education, occupation, income, age, race, and gender.
