Summary note
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 surveyed regarding the most important problem facing the country, Congress, the Clinton health care reform plan, the political party most likely to improve health care, the national economy, Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hillary Clinton, Ross Perot, the current health care system, membership in a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In addition, respondents were asked to describe themselves in a single word. Those recontacted in the call-back poll taken after Clinton's speech to Congress on September 22, 1993, were again questioned regarding the president's proposed health care reform plan. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, health, smoking habits, parental status, presidential vote choice in the 1992 election, political party, political orientation, marital status, religion, education, age, sex, Hispanic origin, and family income.
