Book excerpt: This special topic poll, fielded September 30-October 4, 1994, was undertaken to assess respondents' views on the candidates in November's election for United States Senate in the state of Virginia. The candidates included Charles Robb, Oliver North, and Marshall Coleman. Residents of Virginia were asked to rate the likelihood of their voting in the election, to indicate their voting intentions and preferences for candidates in the election, to comment on their satisfaction with the candidates, and to identify any candidates they would definitely not vote for under any circumstances. Respondents were asked to indicate what they believed to be the most serious problem facing Virginia that the next Senator from Virginia should resolve. Additional questions probed respondents' opinions on a range of other political and social issues including the use of United States military force to attempt to restore democracy in Haiti, raising federal taxes to help reduce the federal budget deficit, a law that would prohibit the sale of assault weapons, allowing illegal immigrants to receive public assistance benefits, and whether the respondents knew any of the Senate candidates' stances on those issues. In addition, respondents were asked to comment on the job performances of President Clinton and the United States Congress. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, party preference, education, age, household income, race, and sex ...
