CBS News/60 Minutes/Vanity Fair National Poll, January #3, 2012

This poll, the last of three fielded January 2012, is a part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicits public opinion on a range of political and social issues. Opinions were collected on federal income taxes, the federal tax policy on capital gains, and whether respondents felt things in the United States were going in the right direction. Respondents were also queried on topics such as firearms, hedge funds, online piracy, and past presidents. Additional topics include respondents' television preferences, the Academy Awards, the Super Bowl, and Valentine's Day. Demographic information includes sex, age, race, marital status, education level, household income, religious preference, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), political party affiliation, political philosophy, military service, and whether respondents thought of themselves as born-again Christians.
