Summary:

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. In addition to posing the standard monthly questions, these two surveys also contained items focusing on the crisis in Haiti. On September 18, before United States troops were sent to Haiti, 747 respondents were queried. The next day, 504 individuals were recontacted for the callback portion of the survey. Respondents were asked whether they approved of President Bill Clinton's handling of the situation in Haiti, whether the United States had a responsibility to do something to restore democracy in Haiti, and whether the United States should send troops or try to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Opinions were solicited on former President Jimmy Carter's role in the crisis and the extent of the role United States military troops should play in Haiti. Respondents were asked to evaluate various reasons for involvement in Haiti, such as stopping human rights abuses, aiding Haitian refugees, and ensuring political stability in the Caribbean, and whether these reasons were sufficient to risk American troops. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, household composition, vote choice in the 1992 presidential election, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, religious preference, and family income....
