This special survey of Illinois residents queried respondents regarding their vote intentions for the 1992 presidential election, their opinions of the 1992 presidential candidates and their running mates, their vote intentions for the United States Senate election in Illinois, and their opinions of Senate candidates Rich Williamson and Carol Moseley Braun. Additional questions dealt with whether government paid enough attention to Blacks and minorities, the national economy, and the importance of electing a woman to the Senate. Respondents were also asked to give their approval ratings of George Bush with respect to his handling of the presidency, foreign affairs, and the economy. Background information on respondents includes sex, age, race, education, family income, religious preference, vote choices in the 1984 and 1988 presidential elections, voter registration status, political orientation, and party preference.
