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 were posed regarding respondents' vote intentions for the 1992 presidential election, their opinions of the 1992 presidential candidates, and the likelihood of their voting in the 1992 presidential election. Items pertaining to George Bush and Bill Clinton focused on their moral values and their ability to deal with problems. Additional questions concerned respondents' opinions of Bill Clinton, Dan Quayle, and Al Gore. Respondents were also asked to give their approval rating of George Bush with respect to his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy. Background information on respondents includes sex, age, race, education, religious preference, family income, political orientation, and party preference.
