Summary View help for Summary
This data collection consists of responses to a survey of voters in the Virginia gubernatorial election. Respondents were asked which gubernatorial candidate they voted for, how much they liked that candidate, when they decided on that candidate, which issues and factors most affected their vote, if TV ads influenced their vote, if race was a factor in voting, if campaign activities of various governmental leaders and groups affected their vote, and if they approved or disapproved of Gerald Baliles' governorship. Voters also categorized the candidates as liberal/moderate/conservative, evaluated campaign performance, and identified those candidates most responsible for negative campaigning. Additional items include respondents' views on abortion and how respondents voted in the 1988 presidential election, in the 1985 gubernatorial election, and in the 1989 elections for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. Demographic information includes sex, race, age, ethnicity, religion, party affiliation, political orientation, education, family income, and childhood residence.
