AB These polls are part of a continuing series of surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other social and political issues. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Ronald Reagan and his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy. Each file contains a set of unique questions pertaining to broader social issues, such as childrearing and victimization. These national surveys were administered by telephone to respondents selected from eligible household members. In Part 1, January 1981, respondents were asked for their views on President Reagan's likely performance as President with respect to economic and foreign affairs, the release of hostages from Iran, the federal budget, and whether funding should be increased or decreased for certain federal programs. Questions about busing to achieve school integration were also included. For Part 2, April 1981, respondents were asked to evaluate President Reagan's current and future performances in economic and foreign affairs. They were also asked about tax cuts, the federal budget, women's rights, El Salvador, Poland, handguns, and Japanese cars. For Part 3, June 1981, respondents were asked to evaluate Reagan's performance as president, and to comment on their general life satisfaction, their confidence in government institutions, their views on crime, whether they voted in the 1980 presidential election, Social Security revisions, and several issues regarding foreign affairs, including military rule in Poland. In Part 4, June 1981, Social Security, respondents gave their views on the Social Security system and how proposed changes affected them. Respondents were also queried for their views on childrearing, punishment of juvenile crime, and who should have custody of children in divorce situations. For Part 5, September 1981, respondents evaluated President Reagan's performance in economic and foreign affairs, and also provided their opinions on environment issues and on various economic proposals, including the Reagan administration's proposed tax cut.
