Voters often complain about negative political campaigns.
But so far, at least, most voters don't find the campaigns in 2000 noteworthy for their negativity. Just 17 percent say the 2000 campaign is more negative than the 1996 one, and 57 percent say it is about the same as in previous years. The Primary Process Perceptions of this year's primary campaign process are very similar to those found by a CBS News poll conducted in March 1996. Forty-six percent say they do, but 48 percent say they don't. And a third say that issues they care about are not being discussed by the candidates, including education, abortion, jobs, defense, gun control, taxes and oil costs.
