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. Questions assessed Bill Clinton's presidency with regard to his handling of the economy and foreign policy, and asked respondents to identify the most important problem facing the country, to rate the national economy, and to indicate whether they were optimistic about 1994. Subsequent questions dealt with the Clinton health care reform plan, the trustworthiness of the government in Washington, how Congress handled its job, the role of the United States in situations such as Bosnia and Somalia, handguns and crime, Michigan doctor Jack Kevorkian and physician-assisted suicide, and NFL football. Background information on respondents includes employment status, gun ownership, crime victimization, household composition, most recent presidential vote choice, political party, political orientation, education, age, race, Hispanic origin, family income, and sex.
