This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to give their opinion of Bill Clinton and his handling of his job as president and to comment on the relationship between the United States and Japan with an emphasis on a possible trade war and tariffs. Respondents were asked to forecast the greatest economic power in the future and to identify the United States' most important partner in the past and future 50 years. Other topics examined in detail included the television and movie rating systems, the role of sex and violence in popular culture, and the government's role in regulating movies and television programs. Those queried also answered questions on Whitewater and on the fear of terrorism in the United States. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, and family income.
