Observa Political Index Polls 1992: January

#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-1992 Observa Political Index Polls 1992: January) deals with the following topical issues: # #Party preference; assessment of Crown Prince Frederik as king, and whether he is a suitable example for the Danish youth; attitude to royal immunity, i.e. that members of the Royal Family cannot be proceeded against; preferred newsreader on DR TV and on TV 2; attitude to a number of questions concerning labour market conditions and the economic policy; attitude to a lowering of the tax rate with a corresponding reduction of various tax deductions; which party had the greatest influence on achieving a broad compromise on the Budget; which Social Democrat had the greatest influence on the Social Democratic vote for the compromise; and assessment of who is responsible for the unemployment rate
