Summary View help for Summary
This special topic poll gauged public opinion on President Bill Clinton's nomination of Zoe Baird as attorney general in light of revelations concerning her hiring of illegal immigrants and subsequent failure to pay Social Security taxes for them. Items of inquiry focused on respondents' opinions regarding Baird's Senate confirmation, the ethics of her hiring illegal immigrants, whether it was a mistake for Clinton to have nominated Baird for attorney general, and the importance of Clinton's next nominee being a woman if Baird did not become attorney general. Respondents were also asked if they approved of most of the choices Clinton had made for his Cabinet and other top positions in his administration. Background information on respondents includes political party, age, and sex.
