    • Summary:This special topic poll, conducted October 3-5, 1988, 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. The focus of this data collection was the opinions of registered voters prior to and immediately following the vice-presidential debate held October 5, 1988. Registered voters polled prior to the vice-presidential debate were asked about the likelihood that they would vote in the November 1988 general election, whether they planned to watch the vice-presidential debate, for whom they would vote if the presidential election were held that day, and the strength of their support for this candidate. Immediately following the vice-presidential debate, 739 respondents were recontacted about whether they had watched the debate, which candidate had won, for whom they would vote for if the presidential election were held that day, and whether vice-presidential candidates Quayle and Bentsen would be qualified to take over the presidency if needed. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, household income, political party affiliation, and education level.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR09184.v2
