Summary
This poll, conducted January 15-17, 2001, is part of a continuing series of surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. The survey examined respondents' views about George W. Bush as president: what kind of president Bush would be, what worried them about Bush, and whether he would bring together or divide different groups of Americans, as well as whether he would be able to deal wisely with an international crisis, work with members of both parties, improve education, reduce costs of prescription drug coverage for seniors, cut taxes, strengthen and reform Social Security, and improve the economy. Respondents were asked whether they participated in the last presidential election on November 7, 2000, and whom they voted for. They also gave their opinions of President-elect George W. Bush and his wife Laura Bush, Vice President-elect Dick Cheney, President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, and Attorney General nominee John Ashcroft. Those polled expressed their views on whether Bush and Clinton could both be trusted to keep their word as president, whether they shared the same moral values as most Americans, and whether they said what they believed or what people wanted to hear. Other questions examined respondents' opinions on the most important problems for the government, the national economy and the stock market, abortion, taxes, tax-funded vouchers for children's education, mandatory testing of students in public schools, and federal funding. Respondents were asked whether they had stock market investments, whether they considered themselves part of the conservative Christian political movement, whether they approved of the cabinet appointments Bush had made, and whether they trusted federal government. The survey also queried respondents on the legitimacy of the election, the effects of the presidential election controversy on American democracy, and partisanship in Congress. Other questions concentrated on the use of computers and the Internet, including whether respondents had access to a computer and to the Internet, and if so where, and if they had an e-mail address. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, education, race/ethnic identity, voter registration, political party affiliation, political orientation, marital status, number of children in the household, and household income
