Observa Political Index Polls 1992: April

#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-1995 Observa Political Index Polls 1992: April) deals with the following topical issues: # #Party preference; prime minister preference; preferred chairman of the Social Democratic Party; voting intention at the EC referendum on 2 June; whether it will be possible for Denmark to renegotiate the Maastricht Treaty in case of a 'no'; whether Poul Schlüter ought to resign because of the Tamil case; attitude to changing the broadcasting time of the TV News; whether Denmark ought to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in the future; plans for the Easter holidays; attitude to a compulsory AIDS-test for all Danes over 18; whether a child who has been borne as a result of artificial insemination has a right to know who its biological father is; attitude to the authorities in Europe using satellites to monitor whether the fishing quota are observed; attitude to a referendum on priority ordering of operations and the combatting of disease; attitude to a register of asylum seekers; whether the authorities ought to take finger prints of all foreigners who seek asylum; the role of the monarchies in the year 2050; attitude to ships under flag of convenience calling at Danish ports; and attitude to a number of statements on the functioning of democracy
