This survey focused on the testimony of Admiral John Poindexter before the congressional committee investigating the Iran-contra affair. Respondents were asked if they thought Poindexter was telling the truth, withholding information, and/or covering up for President Reagan. They also were asked whether they approved of Poindexter's actions, whether he should be prosecuted, and whether Reagan should pardon him. Other questions addressed the issues of aid to the Nicaraguan contras, Reagan's role in the affair and when he learned of the transfer of money, Oliver North's actions and testimony, and the job being done by the investigating committee. Demographic characteristics of respondents are included.
