1* If the presidential election were held today, would you vote for Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Barack Obama?

 

2* I’m going to read you a short list of people in the news. For each, please let me know if you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable, or very unfavorable impression.
