Summary:

This poll, fielded July 13-14, 1999, 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 asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton, the United States Congress, First Lady Hillary Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Texas governor George W.

Additional questions focused on proposed federal legislation that would allow patients to appeal to medical experts if denied treatment by their health insurance plans, allow patients to sue HMOs if they were harmed due to a denial of coverage, and change the Medicare system to cover prescription costs. Those queried were also asked a series of questions regarding gun ownership and gun control, including whether the Second Amendment guaranteed all Americans the right to own a gun, whether gun manufacturers should include trigger locks/safety devices with guns, whether gun buyers should have to pass a safety course and be licensed prior to purchase, whether gun owners should be required to register their guns with the government, and whether individuals should be permitted to carry concealed weapons. Additional topics covered the proposed flat tax on income... Cf.: http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02847
