Summary:

This special topic poll, fielded February 24-27, 2000, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and a range of other political and social issues. The focus of this data collection was on the March 7th party primaries in New York State and on the United States presidential election. Residents of New York State were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton, New York governor George Pataki, Vice President Al Gore, Texas governor George W. Bush, former New Jersey senator Bill Bradley, and Arizona senator John McCain. Respondents were then asked whether they were paying attention to the presidential campaign, whether they were likely to vote in the upcoming primary and for which party, which candidate they were leaning toward, and why. Respondents were also queried as to whether they believed that participation in party primaries should be restricted to registered members of the party, what motives Democrats and Independents might have in voting in the New York State Republican primary, whether campaign contributions influenced candidates, whether candidates said what they really believed most of the time, whether a candidate's word could be trusted when the candidate became president, whether governor Pataki's support of George W. Bush would affect their vote in the Republican primary, and which Republican candidate was more likely to defeat the eventual Democratic candidate. Opinions were also solicited on George W. Bush's speech at Bob Jones University and on the outcome of the Amadou Diallo shooting case. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, race, education, religion, voter registration and participation history, political party, political orientation, Hispanic descent, marital status, and family income....
