Summary

This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were queried regarding President Bill Clinton's handling of foreign policy, the economy, and health care reform, and his ability to deal with an international crisis. The poll also addressed the issue of United States military assistance in trouble spots around the world, the fairness of Clinton's proposed health care reform plan and its potential impact on the quality of care and the amount paid for care, policy options relating to United States involvement in Somalia, Haiti, and the former Yugoslavia, and financial aid to Russia. Background information on respondents includes vote choice in the 1992 presidential election, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, and family income.
