Respondents were asked their opinions on the way things were going in the United States, national budget priorities, national health insurance issues, involvement in Somalia and Bosnia, permitting homosexuals in the military, and whether Hillary Clinton should be allowed to sit in on Cabinet meetings. Respondents were also queried about George Bush's presidency and their opinions of Barbara Bush, Al Gore, Ross Perot, and Dan Quayle. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, religious preference, educational attainment, marital status, family income, political orientation, employment status, history of military service, health insurance coverage, employment status, voter registration status, and vote choice in the 1992 presidential election.
