Observa Political Index Polls 1993: 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, 1993: #------------------------------------ #In 1993 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-2003: Observa Political Index Polls, 1993. In addition, the individual political index polls, which contain various questions on topical issues, are found in DDA-2004 to DDA-2014. # #This survey (DDA-2011 Observa Political Index Polls 1993: September) deals with the following topical issues: # #Party preference; which tasks a trade union should deal with; membership of a trade union and the benefit of the membership in relation to the subscription fee; assessment of the non-Socialist government and the present Government in a number of fields; most important factors in connection with a general election; who should succeed Henning Rasmussen as chairman of the Parliament; assessment of the most recent chairmen of the Parliament; whether it is likely that Uffe Ellemann-Jensen becomes prime minister after the next general election; preferred 'crown prince' in the Liberal Party; whether the Liberal Party and the Conservative People's Party ought to include the Progress Party in a government if the three parties have the majority after a general election; attitude to mandatory use of bicycle helmet by children and young people; attitude to the EC-directive on speed limits for mopeds; attitude to a ban on Nazi and racist parties; assessment of Poul Nyrup Rasmussen versus Uffe Ellemann-Jensen concerning image and personality; preferred holiday destinations in Denmark and in other countries; and important factors in connection with holiday trips
