Observa Political Index Polls 1990: October II

#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, 1990: #------------------------------------ #In 1990 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-1968: Observa Political Index Polls, 1990. In addition, the individual political index polls, which contain various questions on topical issues, are found in DDA-1969 to DDA-1970. # #This survey (DDA-1978 Observa Political Index Polls 1990: October II) deals with the following topical issues: # #Party preference; attitude to the provisions in the Aliens Act concerning family reunion of refugees; attitude to a fixed annual refugee quota; 'convention' refugees versus 'spontaneous' refugees; prime minister preference; preferred leader of the Conservative People's Party; demands which should be given top priority at the coming collective bargainings; attitude to politicians being held personally and financially responsible for their decisions (cf. the case in Vejle); Mogens Glistrup's plans to establish the Prosperity Party; attitude to changing the fines for exceeding the speed limits; purchase and/or investments in 1990; music habits; and whether the respondent has contributed to the 'Refugee '90' collection
