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 also asked about various issues facing the country, such as how to provide African Americans with more jobs, the best way to help more African Americans go to college, and whether the United States should intervene when crises occur in Africa.
