ABC News Bosnia Poll, May 1993

In this special topic poll, respondents were queried regarding the fighting between Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Muslims in the former Yugoslavian republic of Bosnia. Issues addressed include President Bill Clinton's handling of the situation in Bosnia, the refusal by the Bosnian Serbs to accept a United Nations peace plan, the United Nations arms embargo in the Bosnian region, potential United Nations authorization of the use of military force against the Bosnian Serbs, and a potential United Nations deadline for the Bosnian Serbs to stop fighting or face allied military action. Those surveyed were asked if they would support air strikes by the United States and its allies in Europe against Bosnian Serb artillery positions and supply lines, whether the United States' and European allies' ground forces should be used in Bosnia, whether the United States should take military action in Bosnia if the European allies did not agree to participate, and whether the United States would eventually be involved in a war in Bosnia. Additional questions concerned the news media's coverage of the situation in Bosnia. Background information on respondents includes political party and sex.
