Summary

This special topic poll, fielded in September 1994, sought respondent views on the Prince George's County Democratic primary election. Respondents were asked if they had voted and whom they had voted for in that past Tuesday's election. Queries included what the most important issue was to respondents in determining their vote for County Executive, whether respondents felt that things in Prince George's County were generally going in the right direction, their perception of how good a place Prince George's County was to live in, and whether the quality of life in the county had improved or would improve. Respondents were asked whether Whites and/or Blacks in the county had too much influence on local politics and whether the influence of Blacks in county politics was increasing. Demographic information includes political affiliation, level of education, age, sex, marital status, number of years residing in Prince George's County, residence prior to living in the county, ethnicity, yearly income, and willingness for call-back.

2004-12-08 File Specifications have been changed to reflect that the data file has three records per case and is a Card Image file as opposed to an SPSS portable file. Additional subject terms have been added to better represent the information contained in the data. The codebook has been updated with a processing note containing current information about weighting. The RESTRICTIONS field has been removed because it was redundant.
