Version 1

This poll, fielded July 2012, and the second of two, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicits public opinion on a range of political and social issues. Respondents were asked about the condition of the economy, and whether things in the country were on the right track. Opinions were collected on financial institutions and whether they favor large investors, as well as the likelihood of another financial crisis. Respondents were queried on unemployment, including who is to blame for the high unemployment rate and what will happen to the unemployment rate over the next few months. Several questions addressed modes of transportation, including which mode is the most cost-effective, is the safest, and which one respondents prefer for traveling long distances. Other questions addressed a variety of pop-culture and social issues, such as plants, live theater, traditions, national landmarks, abortion, and taxpayer's money. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, education level, household income, social class, religious preference and participation, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), whether respondents thought of themselves as born-again Christians, marital status, household composition, political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration status, voting behavior, and the number of phones in their household.
