Summary

For this survey of Texas residents, questions were posed regarding respondents' vote intentions for the 1992 presidential election, their opinions of the 1992 presidential candidates and their running mates, and the likelihood of their voting in the 1992 presidential election. Additional questions dealt with the national economy, the United States House of Representatives, and whether George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot could be trusted to deal with all the problems a president has to deal with. Respondents were also asked to give their approval rating of Bush with respect to his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy. Background information on respondents includes sex, race, age, education, religious preference, family income, political orientation, party preference, voter registration status, and vote choices in the 1984 and 1988 presidential elections.
