Observa Political Index Polls 1992: September

#Observa opinion polls: #---------------------- # #From 1967 and onwards Observa (from 1990 GfK Danmark) has carried out a number of opinion polls, i.e. surveys of attitudes and habits of life, partly through so-called political index polls (postal panel surveys) and partly through more extensive attitudinal surveys based on interviews. The political index polls have been carried out regularly in the period (approx. 10 times a year), whereas the attitudinal surveys have been carried out quarterly in the period 1969 to 1972. The current data collection of similar data material over a long period of time makes it possible to carry out various kinds of time series analyses, especially as regards party preference. #Other subjects are usually treated more superficially owing to the conditions under which the surveys are carried out (they are designed for publication in daily papers so the main emphasis has been put on topical issues, and only subjects which may be dealt with by means of a limited number of questions are included). #Until 1971 the political index polls were carried out for the daily paper Aktuelt; from 1972 for the daily paper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten. The attitudinal surveys have been carried out exclusively for Jyllands-Posten. # # #Observa Political Index Polls, 1992: #------------------------------------ #In 1992 GfK Danmark carried out 11 political index polls. All the questions from these surveys, together with a fixed set of recurring background variables, are found in DDA-1991: Observa Political Index Polls, 1992. In addition, the individual political index polls, which contain various questions on topical issues, are found in DDA-1992 to DDA-2002. # #This survey (DDA-1999 Observa Political Index Polls 1992: September) deals with the following topical issues: # #Party preference; voting intention at a new referendum on the European Union if union citizenship, joint currency and joint defence are excluded; attitude to the decision to send Danish soldiers to Yugoslavia to protect relief convoys; preferred winner of the US presidential elections; attitude to the expenditure level in a number of fields on the Budget; attitude to tax deduction of not publicly supported child-minding and expenses for artisan's work in the dwelling; attitude to a number of proposals concerning traffic; assessment of the influence of the Progress Party on Danish politics since it was founded; whether the Progress Party ought to overthrow the non-Socialist government; assessment of the political performance of Uffe Ellemann-Jensen; assessment of the ability of the Liberal Party to co-operate with the other parties; whether Istedløven (the Isted Lion) ought to be moved to the graves of Danish soldiers in the churchyard in Flensburg; and degree of trust in a number of institutions and occupational groups
