Observa Political Index Polls 1992: October

#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-2000 Observa Political Index Polls 1992: October) deals with the following topical issues: # #Party preference; whether members of the Royal Family ought to receive appanage; attitude to increasing the punishment for crimes of violence; attitude to abolishing the latest land tax assessment; whether the tax rate of interest deduction should be reduced to 40% and the money be used for a lowering of the personal income tax; whether low-paid groups should primarily benefit from possible tax reliefs; attitude to placing a chemical industrial enterprise in the respondent's municipality; whether Poul Schlüter ought to resign because of the Tamil case; whether Anders Fogh Rasmussen ought to resign because of the AMBI case; whether the EC co-operation in a number of fields where Denmark takes part ought to be extended; whether the Government ought to resign if it cannot get support for its labour market reform and its tax reform; whether an artist/an actor ought to be manager of the Royal Theatre; political influence of the voters; assessment of the moral/immoral aspects of a number of acts; and holiday travels in 1991
