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 relating to George Bush and Bill Clinton dealt with their ability to deal with an international crisis, their ideas to end the recession, their moral values, their ability to deal with problems, and their areas of concentration during the campaign. Those surveyed also assessed Bush's handling of the presidency, foreign policy, the situation in Iraq, and the economy. In addition, respondents gave their opinions of Ronald Reagan, Ross Perot, Hillary Clinton, and Barbara Bush. Other questions focused on the situation in Yugoslavia, the national economy, pornography, abortion, the United States House of Representatives election, the candidates for vice president, Ronald Reagan, and Jimmy Carter.
