CBS News Monthly Poll, March 2007

This poll, fielded March 26-27, 2007, is a part of a continuing series
of monthly surveys that solicits public opinion on the presidency and on
a range of other political and social issues. This poll oversampled people who were likely to vote in the Democratic presidential primaries. All respondents were asked to say whether they approved of the way George W. Bush was
handling his job as president, whether they had been paying attention to the 2008 presidential campaign, to give their opinions of potential 2008 presidential candidates, and who they would most like to see nominated in the race for the Democratic party's presidential nomination. Opinions were solicited on Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards,
and whether respondents had been paying attention to the news about her cancer reoccurrence, as well as whether John Edwards' presidential campaign would be affected by his wife's medical condition. Additional topics include breast cancer, firings of United States attorneys by the Justice Department
and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, withdrawing the troops from Iraq, and whether Iran was a threat to the United States. Demographic information includes sex, age, race, education level, marital status, frequency of religious attendance, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration status, and the presence of children under 18 and household members between the ages of 18 and 24.
