Description: The datasets described below are part of an ongoing data collection effort in which The New York Times and CBS News are equal partners. The common substantive denominator in the surveys is a continuing evaluation of the Reagan presidency, but each data collection has other questions of topical relevance or pertaining to broader social issues, such as childrearing or victimization. These national surveys are administered by telephone to a respondent selected from eligible household members. Part 1: January 1981. 1,512 respondents were asked for their views on Reagan's likely performance as President in economic and foreign affairs, about the release from Iran of the hostages, and for their views on the federal budget, including for which programs funding should be decreased or increased. Questions about busing for school integration were also included. Part 2: April 1981. 1,439 respondents were asked how Reagan has been performing and is likely to perform in economic and foreign affairs. There were questions about the tax cut, the federal budget, and on women's rights, El Salvador, Poland, handguns, and Japanese cars.
