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. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton and his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy. They were also asked for their views regarding Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, the United States Congress, the 1996 presidential and congressional elections, the state of the nation's economy, and the qualities they look for in a president. Comparative questions elicited respondents' opinions on whether President Clinton was an old-style, tax-and-spend Democrat or a new-style Democrat who would be careful with the public's money, and whether Senator Dole was an old-style Republican who wanted to cut taxes for the rich and social programs for the poor, or a new-style Republican who would protect social programs while cutting the federal budget. Additional topics covered the impact of Dole's resignation from the Senate on the upcoming presidential election, the moral standing of the Democratic and Republican parties, and whether Clinton and Dole should be classified as Washington insiders. Background variables include age, race, sex, education, political party, and voter registration and participation history.... Cf.: http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06822
