CBS News/Vanity Fair National Poll #1, August 2010

This poll, fielded August 3-5, 2010, solicited respondents' opinion on whether the country was on the right track or going in the wrong direction, the war in Afghanistan and what would signify victory to them, the impact of global warming, whether tanning salons should be taxed, the most overused word in the English language, whether Sarah Palin would be an effective president, and whether respondents were familiar with who Emily Post was. Respondents were asked how well they knew their blood type, IQ, automobile license plate, Social Security number, and weight, what drug they would experiment with if there were no prohibitions or addiction, whether they had encountered sexual harassment at work and whether it was reported if they had. Respondents were also asked their feelings regarding Labor Day, their children returning to school, their favorite summer food, whether they subscribed to a paid television service, their satisfaction with the provider, and whether they would replace their subscription by using the Internet. Demographic information includes sex, age, race, education level, household income, marital status, religious preference, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), political party affiliation, political philosophy, and voter registration status and participation history.
