title: Archival Version

description: This data collection is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that evaluate the Bush presidency and solicit opinions on a variety of political and social issues. Topics covered include the economy, the environment, foreign affairs, and whether Bush was able to deal with major problems facing the nation. In addition, respondents were questioned in depth regarding the situation in the Persian Gulf, including whether a large number of United States soldiers should remain in the Persian Gulf to help maintain peace, whether the United States could claim a victory if Saddam Hussein remained in power, if the Middle East would be more stable as a result of the war, and if the war would leave the United States in a stronger position in the world. Respondents were also asked if their decisions to vote to re-elect a representative or senator would be influenced by that individual's voting against the resolution that authorized George Bush to start the Gulf War, if they had gained or lost respect for certain countries and certain people as a result of the war, and if the war was worth fighting considering the costs versus the benefits to the United States. Among the other subjects addressed were federal energy policy, trade restrictions with Mexico, an international conference on the Arab-Israeli problem, and relations between Israel and the Palestinians. Background information on respondents includes political alignment, 1988 presidential vote choice, education, age, religion, social class, marital status, number of people in household, labor union membership, employment status, race, income, sex, and state/region of residence.

title: CBS News Iraq Poll, September 1990
title: Archival Version

description: This survey focused on issues related to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Respondents were asked whether they approved or disapproved of President Bush's handling of the situation, whether the United States did the right thing by sending troops to Saudi Arabia, and whether the United States' purpose in sending troops was mainly to stop an Iraqi invasion of Saudi Arabia or to protect the supply of oil to the United States. Respondents were also asked whether they favored or opposed the enforcing of an economic blockade of all goods to Iraq, whether they would favor or oppose such a blockade even if Western hostages in Iraq went without food and medicine, whether they would favor or oppose a blockade of all goods except food and medicine, and whether they would favor or oppose the United States invading Kuwait if an embargo failed to convince Saddam Hussein to withdraw. In addition, respondents were asked how long they expected United States troops to remain in the Persian Gulf area and whether they anticipated that the United States military would fight Iraq or that the situation would be resolved without fighting. Respondents also commented on whether they would favor or oppose an attempt by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to mediate the crisis, and whether President Bush should tape a message for Iraqi television in response to Saddam Hussein's offer to broadcast such a message. Background information on respondents includes political alignment, education, age, race, sex, number of adults at home, and state/region of residence.

title: Youth Attitude Tracking Study (YATS) [United States], Fall 1994
title: Archival Version

description: This round of the Youth Attitude Tracking Survey, a series of surveys begun in 1975, investigated youth attitudes towards military enlistment and their perceptions of the military and recruitment marketing activities. The survey also elicited opinions on government and public affairs issues: whether the United States ought to have much more military power than any other nation in the world, whether women should be required to register for the draft, and whether the United States should go to war to defend its own economic interests, protect the rights of United States citizens, or protect the rights of other countries. The survey explored the respondents' plans for the future, including plans for college and interest in participating in either the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) or military training after college. In addition, the survey explored the respondents' media habits. Other information collected by the survey includes age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, current school enrollment status, highest grade completed, type of school and diploma, grades usually received in high school, participation in the junior ROTC in high school, whether the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test (ASVAB) was taken, current employment status, and parents' education.

title: Survey of Judges on the Role of Courts in American Society, 1979
title: Archival Version

description: This survey was conducted in order to obtain from judges their views and experiences regarding the role of courts in American society, specifically on issues of caseload management. From a sample representing five regions of the country, 104 federal and state judges were interviewed about their general work practices and performance in court over the year previous to August 1979. Variables describe the amount of time judges spent on routine judicial activities, characteristics of cases requiring excessive time, the mechanisms employed in the resolution of civil disputes, techniques for reducing or more expeditiously handling heavy caseloads, and suggestions for extra-judicial dispute settlement processes that could serve as alternatives to courts. Data are also available on each judge's legal education, legal experience, and personal background.

description: Federal and state trial court judges in the United States.
description: This data collection is the result of interviews conducted with two types of judges from five districts: Milwaukee/Eastern Wisconsin, South Carolina, Philadelphia/Eastern Pennsylvania, Albuquerque/New Mexico, and Los Angeles/Central California. A random sample of the 41 federal trial court judges actively serving on United States district courts in those districts resulted in 29 interviews, and a purposive sample of the 265 state trial court judges who presided over state courts of general jurisdiction in those districts resulted in 75 interviews. State judges were selected randomly except in two recently unified state jurisdictions -- South Carolina and Wisconsin -- where emphasis was placed on interviewing judges who had previously been state circuit judges. The five districts chosen could not represent the full range of courts throughout the country, but did provide a sample that was representative in terms of region, size, and degree of urbanization.

title: CBS News State of the Union Poll, September 1990
title: Archival Version

description: This survey focuses on specific issues related to the United States' involvement in the Persian Gulf War, along with general topics such as the Bush presidency, whether the United States was heading in the right direction, foreign policy, Congress, and the economy. Respondents were asked about President Bush's handling of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, if the United States did the right thing by starting military actions against Iraq rather than waiting to see if economic sanctions worked, if there was personal concern over a possible terrorist attack in the United States, whether the war was a mistake, and whether the war was likely to be worth the cost in human life and resources. Respondents also offered opinions regarding their pride or lack of pride in the United States' actions in the Persian Gulf, the expected length of the war and number of casualties, and how the war was going for the United States. In addition, the survey posed a series of questions dealing with media coverage of the war and the possible holding back of information by the military, the involvement of women in ground combat, personal effects of the war on respondents, Israel's response to Iraqi missile attacks, effects of the war on the United States' economy and on the Bush administration's ability to deal with domestic problems, support for Gorbachev vs. support for Lithuania's breaking away from the Soviet Union, Bush's first two years in office compared to Reagan's, Dan Quayle, and the probability of voting for Bush or the Democratic candidate in 1992. Background information on respondents includes political alignment, education, religion, age, race, sex, employment, perspectives on homemaking, family members serving in the Persian Gulf or elsewhere, choice for president in 1988, voter registration status, marital status, and state/region of residence.

In addition, the survey elicited opinions on government and public affairs issues: whether the United States ought to have much more military power than any other nation in the world, whether the United States should go to war to protect its own economic interests or the rights of other countries, whether the United States military should intervene in Bosnia or be involved in peace-keeping missions like the one in Somalia or potentially in Haiti, and whether women should be required to register for the draft or be allowed to volunteer for combat assignments. Respondents were asked if they had taken the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test (ASVAB), and those attending or planning to attend college were questioned about their interest in participating in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) or military training after college. Other information collected by the survey includes age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, current school enrollment status, highest grade completed, type of school and diploma, grades usually received in high school, plans for college, interest in pursuing certain occupations, current employment status, and parents' education.

Approximately one-half of the respondents consisted of age-eligible individuals previously interviewed in the Fall 1991 or Fall 1992 YATS administrations (the panel sample) and the other half was comprised of respondents new to YATS who were selected using random digit dialing (the RDD sample). After the interviews were completed, the principal investigator decided to drop the panel sample cases because their responses were discovered to be a function of their prior interviews. The data file only includes the RDD cases.
