IVAN MOORE RESEARCH

TEL: 278-4600
Hello, my name is _________ and I'm calling for Ivan Moore Research, an
Alaska public opinion research firm. We're conducting a public opinion
survey that should take a few minutes. Your opinions are important to us,
and we'd appreciate your participation if that's OK with you, and of course
your responses will be completely confidential.
S1. Is this a residential telephone?
IF "YES", CONTINUE...
S2. Are you registered to vote in the State of Alaska?
IF "YES", CONTINUE...

1. First of all, I'm going to read you the names of some organizations and
public figures. Please tell me whether your feelings towards them are very
positive, somewhat positive, somewhat negative or very negative, or if you
have never heard of them.
