Summary View help for Summary
For this pre-election tracking poll, respondents were queried regarding their 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. Questions pertaining to the presidential candidates focused on their ability to care about the needs and problems of people and bring about the kind of change the country needs, the likelihood that they would raise taxes, whether they could be trusted to deal with all the problems a president faces, allegations brought against Clinton concerning his draft status, allegations regarding the Bush Administration's dealings with Iraq before the Persian Gulf War, and Perot's reason for dropping out of the presidential race in July. Additional questions probed for respondents' opinions concerning the national economy, the financial situation of the future generation of Americans, and the 1992 presidential campaign as compared with the 1988 campaign. Those surveyed were also asked to give their approval rating of George Bush with respect to his handling of the presidency, foreign affairs, and the economy. Background information on respondents includes sex, age, race, education, religious preference, family income, political orientation, party preference, vote choices in the 1984 and 1988 presidential elections, and voter registration status.
