In April of 1994 a telephone survey was conducted by a professional pollster. The survey consisted of 156 questions that took approximately 20 minutes for each respondent. There were 600 respondents in the survey. The respondents were selected from a stratified list of registered voters throughout the State. The results of the survey were presented using descriptive statistics in the form of summary of data, contingency tables, and graphs.
