Opinion was also solicited regarding Congress, the economy, the military role of the United States in Bosnia, the media's treatment of Clinton, reducing the deficit through tax increases, health care reform, Hillary Clinton, Bob Dole, Ross Perot, Al Gore, Clinton's attention to the needs of the average person, Clinton's participation in the Memorial Day service at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Ross Perot's criticism of Clinton's performance as president, and whom the respondent would vote for if the 1992 election for president were held again. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, parental status, household composition, military service, vote choice in the 1992 presidential election, political party, political orientation, education, age, race, Hispanic origin, family income, and sex.
