AMERICAN PUBLIC OPINION AND U.S. FOREIGN POLICY

Series Information:

This series of quadrennial studies was designed to investigate the opinions and attitudes of the general public and a select group of opinion leaders (or elites) on matters relating to United States foreign policy and to define the parameters of public opinion within which decision-makers must operate. For purposes of this series, opinion leaders are defined as individuals in positions of leadership in government, academia, business and labor, the media, religious institutions, special interest groups, and private foreign policy organizations. In two separate surveys, both general public and elite respondents are questioned regarding various foreign policy problems, such as the relationship between domestic and foreign policy priorities, the roles of various individuals and institutions in the creation of foreign policy, and the appropriate responses of the United States to actions by the (former) Soviet Union and other countries that vary from study to study. Other questions asked of both groups cover economic aid to other nations, military aid/selling military equipment to other nations, the role of the United States in world affairs, and the use of United States troops in other parts of the world. Respondents from the general public are also asked to rate various foreign countries and American and foreign leaders on a feeling-thermometer scale.

Study Scope

Topic Classification:

XIV. MASS POLITICAL BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDES, C. Public Opinion on Political Matters, 1. United States

Abstract:

This study is part of a quadrennial series designed to investigate the opinions and attitudes of the general public and a select group of opinion leaders (or elites) on matters relating to foreign policy and to define the parameters of public opinion within which decision-makers must operate. Both general public and elite respondents were questioned regarding the biggest problems facing the United States today, spending levels for various federal government programs, the role of Congress in determining foreign policy, the impact of foreign policy on things such as prices and unemployment, and the Clinton Administration's handling of various problems, such as overall foreign policy, overall trade policy, immigration, and relations with Latin America, Japan, Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, and the Middle East. Other topics include government reactions to situations in Bosnia, North Korea, Haiti, Cuba, Rwanda, and the Middle East, the importance of various countries to America's vital interests, possible threats/adversaries to the United States in coming years, NATO and keeping troops in Western Europe, the military role of Japan and Germany, the economic unification of western Europe, the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the illegal drug problem. In addition, the elites were asked several questions about their political party affiliation and the strength of that affiliation. Demographic characteristics such as religious preference, marital status, employment status, household composition, education, age, Hispanic origin, race, sex, and income were gathered for the general population respondents only.

DESIGN OF THE SAMPLE - GENERAL POPULATION: The sampling procedure for this survey was designed to produce an approximation of the adult civilian population, eighteen years and older, living in the United States, except those persons in institutions such as prisons or hospitals. The design of the sample is that of a replicated, probability sample down to the block level in the case of urban areas, and to segments of townships in the case of rural areas. Approximately one hundred and eighty sampling locations were used for this survey. The sample design includes stratification by these seven size-of- community strata, using 1980 Census data: (a) incorporated cities of population 1,000,000 and over; (b) incorporated cities of population 250,000 to 999,999; (c) incorporated cities of population 50,000 to 249,999; (d) urbanized places not included in (a)-(c); (e) cities over 2,500 population outside of urbanized areas; (f) towns and villages with less than 2,500 population; and (g) rural places not included within town boundaries. Each of these strata are further stratified into four geographic regions: East, Midwest, South and West. Within each city size-regional stratum, the population is arrayed in geographic order and zoned into equal sized groups of sampling units. Pairs of localities are selected in each zone, with probability of selection and each locality proportional to its population size in the 1990 census, producing two replicated samples of localities. Separately for each survey, within each subdivision so selected for which block statistics are available, a sample of blocks or block clusters is drawn with probability of selection proportional to the number of dwelling units. In all other subdivisions or areas, blocks or segments are drawn at random or with equal probability. In each cluster of blocks and each segment so selected, a randomly selected starting point is designated on the interviewer's map of the area. Starting at this point, interviewers are required to follow a given direction in the selection of households until their assignment is completed. Interviewing was conducted at times when women, in general, are most likely to be at home, which means on weekends, or if on weekdays, after 4:00 P.M.. Allowance for persons not at home is made by a "times-at-home" weighting procedure [see Politz, A. and Simmons, W., "An Attempt to Get the "Not at Homes" into the Sample without Callbacks", JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION, Volume 44, (March, 1949), pp. 9-31.except for those persons in institutions such as prisons or hospitals] rather than by "call-backs". This procedure is a standard method for reducing the sample bias that would otherwise result from under-representation in the sample of persons who are difficult to find at home. The final sample of completed interviews was weighted to bring the demographic characteristics of the sample (i.e., age, race, education, and region) into alignment with the most recently available estimates of the demographic characteristics of the population of adults. Demographic estimates of this population were taken from the Bureau of the Census Current Population Survey (March, 1988). The sampling and weighting procedures described are designed to allow projection of results to the population of civilian adults eighteen years and older, living in the United States. DESIGN OF THE SAMPLE: OPINION LEADERS. The opinion leader sample of the Chicago Council's study on foreign relations was designed to replicate opinion leader samples used in previous years. Wherever possible, the directories used for names, and the number of names used for each type of opinion leader modeled the 1990 sample design. The outline below describes each elite sub-sample. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES; 30 INTERVIEWS with Representatives. All Representatives names were used from a comprehensive Gallup-in-house list. (If the House member was not available the interview was conducted with the legislative assistant responsible for foreign affairs). SENATE: 22 INTERVIEWS with Senators. All Representatives names were used from a comprehensive Gallup-in-house list.(If the Senator was not available the interview was selected with the legislative assistant responsible for foreign affairs). ADMINISTRATION: 25 INTERVIEWS with assistant secretaries. The following directory was used to select names: 1993 Federal Staff Directory published by Staff Directories, Ltd. Personnel were selected from international offices at the following: The White House Office Office of Management and Budget National Security Office Office of the United States Trade Representative Department of Agriculture Department of Commerce Department of Defense Department of Energy Department of Justice Department of State Department of Transportation Department of the Treasury Agency for International Development Nuclear Regulatory Commission U.S. International Trade Commission Veterans Administration BUSINESS: 63 INTERVIEWS were completed with vice presidents in charge of international affairs. The top industrial corporations in the Fortune 500 list were included in the sample frame, and respondents' names were found in the following publication: Corporate Yellow Book, published by Monitor Publishing Company, summer 1993. MEDIA: 58 INTERVIEWS with television and radio news directors, network newscasters, newspaper editors and columnists, news magazine editors and columnists. The following publications were used: 1. News Media Yellow Book of Washington and New York, published by Monitor Publishing Company, summer 1993. 2. Editor and publisher International Yearbook 1993, published by Editor and Publisher Company. LABOR LEADERS: 32 INTERVIEWS were conducted with presidents of the largest labor unions. The following directory was used to obtain the sample: "Labor Unions, Association, and Federation," Volume 1, part 2, section 15, Encyclopedia of Associations; published by Gale Research Inc., 1990. EDUCATORS: 64 INTERVIEWS were conducted with presidents and faculty who teach in the area of foreign affairs from a list of universities used in previous Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs studies. RELIGIOUS LEADERS: 47 INTERVIEWS were conducted with religious leaders representing all faiths, proportionate to the number of Americans who worship each faith. The following directory was used to obtain names: Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches, published by Abingdon Press Nashville, 1993. SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS: 22 INTERVIEWS were conducted with a purposively drawn sample of presidents from large special interest groups relevant to foreign policy. The following directory was used to obtain names: National Trade and Professional Associations, published by Columbia Book Inc. 1994. PRIVATE FOREIGN POLICY ORGANIZATIONS: 20 INTERVIEWS were conducted with presidents from major private foreign policy organizations. The following directories were used to obtain names: The Capital Source "The Who's Who, What, Where in Washington: Think Tanks", published by the National Journal Inc., Spring 1994. SAMPLING TOLERANCES: In interpreting survey results, it should be borne in mind that all sample surveys are subject to sampling error, that is, the extent to which the results may differ from what would be obtained if the whole population had been interviewed. The size of such sampling errors depends largely on the number of interviews. The following tables may be used in estimating the sampling error of any percentage in this report. The computed allowances have taken into account the effect of the sample design upon sampling error. They may be interpreted as indicating the range (plus or minus the figure shown) within which the results of repeated samplings in the same time period could be expected to vary, 95 percent of the time, assuming the same sampling procedures, the same interviewers, and the same questionnaire. The first table shows how much allowance should be made for the sampling error of a percentage:

The table would be used in the following manner: Let us say a reported percentage is 33 in our sample which includes 1662 respondents. Then we go to row "percentages near 30" in the table and go across to the column headed "1000". The number at this point is 3, which means that the 33 percent obtained in the sample is subject to a sampling error of plus or minus 3 points. Another way of saying it is that very probably (95 chances of 100) the true figure would be somewhere between 30 and 36, with the most likely figure the 33 obtained. Sampling error is less applicable in the opinion leader study, since this study is more or less a census of the nation's opinion leaders. Sampling error tables are provided below, for the opinion leader study, based on the assumption that the study were a pure random sample of a "population" of opinion leaders. Based on this assumption, the sampling error is higher for the opinion leader sample which includes a smaller number of respondents than the general population study. As shown in the table below, if a reported percentage is 33 percent for 380 respondents, the percentage would be interpreted with a sampling error of plus or minus 5 points.

In comparing survey results in two samples, such as, for example, men and women, the question arises as to how large a difference between them must be before one can be reasonably sure that it reflects a real difference. In the tables below, the number of points which must be allowed for in such comparisons is indicated. Two tables are provided. One is for percentages near 20 or 80; the other for percentages near 50. For percentages in between, the error to be allowed for is between those shown in the two tables.

Here is an example of how the tables would be used: Let us say that 50 percent of men responded a certain way and 40 percent of women respond that way also, for a difference of 10 percentage points between them. Can we say with any assurance that the 10-point difference reflects a real difference between men and women on the question? The general population sample contains approximately 700 men and 500 women. Since the percentages are near 50, we consult Table B, and since the two samples are about 700 persons each, we look for the number 7 here. This means that the allowance for error should be 7 points, and that in concluding that the percentage among men is somewhere between 3 and 17 points higher than the percentage among women we should be wrong only about 5 percent of the time. In other words, we can conclude with considerable confidence that a difference exists in the direction observed and that it amounts to at least 3 percentage points. If, in another case, men's responses amount to 22 percent, say, and women's 24 percent, we consult Table A because these percentages are near 20. We look for the number in the column headed 700 and see that it is 5. Obviously, then, the two-point difference is inconclusive.
