This special-topic 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. This data collection assesses respondents' attitudes toward foreign policy under the Reagan administration. Included were questions measuring attitudes toward the Soviet Union, the relative military strength of the United States, and American relations with Arab nations, Israel, and western Europe. Respondents were asked questions on human rights, nuclear war, the spread of Communism, oil supply, and United States allies. Demographic information was collected, including respondent's race, age, sex, employment, number of children, and religion.
