Q2. As you may know, in November, there will be an election for President,
Senator, Congress and other offices. How likely are you to vote in this
election: Will you definitely vote, probably vote, are the chances 50-50, will
you probably not vote, or will you definitely not vote?

No matter how you are planning to vote, when it comes to politics, do

you generally think of yourself as a strong Democrat, a not very strong
Democrat, a strong Republican, a not very strong Republican, or an
Independent? [IF INDEPENDENT] Do you think of yourself as closer to the

Now I'd like to read you some pairs of statements. After each pair, I'd like you to tell me which statement comes closest to your own
views.
Republican Richard Mourdock says that Washington doesn't need more bipartisan compromise, what it needs is more people standing
on principle.
Democrat Joe Donnelly says that the problem with Washington is that there is too much partisan bickering and not enough working
across party lines to get things done.
Q6. Which statement comes closest to your own views? [IF CHOICE] Do you
feel that way strongly or just somewhat?
VOL:

More standing on principle - Strongly ..............................

Too much bickering - Somewhat .....................................
