Summary:

This poll, the first of three fielded October 2012, is a part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicits public opinion on a range of political and social issues. Respondents were asked how likely it was that they would vote in the 2012 presidential election, whether they thought presidential campaigns were too long, whether they thought the 2012 campaign was more positive than previous campaigns, whether they thought there were too many political ads on television during the presidential campaigns, how much they trusted the accuracy of the political ads, how much influence the political ads had on their vote for president, and how effective they thought negative political ads were. Opinions were also sought about former President Bill Clinton, including whether respondents had a favorable opinion of him, whether their opinion of him was better at the time of the survey than when he was in office, and whether they would like to see Clinton serve another term as president if there were not a two-term limit. A number of questions were also asked about humor and entertainment. Finally, respondents were asked when they last voted in an election, whether they knew when they last registered to vote, how long they had lived at their current address, and whether they supported the Tea Party movement. Demographic information includes sex, age, race, social class, marital status, household makeup, education level, household income, employment status, religious preference, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), political party affiliation, political philosophy, whether respondents are currently registered to vote, and whether respondents thought of themselves as born-again Christians.
