Description: CBS News and The New York Times conducted a series of nationwide polls during 1977 and 1978. Randomly selected adults were surveyed by telephone in each poll. The data for Part 1 were collected in April 1977, Part 2 in July 1977, Part 3 (the Energy Poll) in July 1977, Part 4 in October 1977, Part 5 in January 1978, Part 6 in February 1978, Part 7 in April 1978, and Part 9 (the California Sample) in June 1978. Polls conducted in April, July, and October 1977, and January and April 1978, sought the respondents' opinions on a broad range of political, economic, and social events and issues. A second poll in July 1977 focused specifically on energy problems. The February 1978 Poll focused on attitudes of blacks and whites on racial issues. The June 1978 Poll gave special attention to reactions to California's Proposition 13. Part 8 contains the data for respondents from California (N=434) for this poll.
