New Mexico Survey of
500 Likely Voters
Conducted February
14, 2012
By Rasmussen Reports
Please note that we split the survey to
rotate the order of the candidates, so while half will hear the Republican
first, the other half hears the Democrat mentioned first.
1* In thinking about
the next presidential election, suppose you had a choice between Republican
Mitt Romney and Democrat Barack Obama.
If the election were held today, would you vote
for Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Barack Obama?
2* Suppose the Republicans nominate Rick Santorum. If the 2012 election for president were held today, would you vote for Republican Rick Santorum
or Democrat Barack Obama?
3* Now 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.
Mitt
Romney
Rick
Santorum
4* Generally speaking, how would you rate the U.S.
economy these days? Excellent, good, fair, or poor?
5* Are economic conditions in the country getting better
or worse?
6*
Looking back, were the bailouts of banks, auto companies and insurance
companies good for the United States or bad for the United States?
7* A proposal has been made that would let people select
their own Social Security and Medicare retirement age. Those who wanted to
retire earlier would pay more in taxes and those who wanted to pay less in
taxes would retire later. So long as they are paying enough to cover the cost
of their own decision, should people have the right to pick their own Social
Security and Medicare retirement age?
8* Is it possible to reduce
the cost of Medicare by changing Medicare or is it necessary to reduce the
overall cost of health care services in the United States?
9* Do
you agree or disagree with the following statement: “The United States should
not commit its forces to military action overseas unless the cause is vital to
our national interest.”
10* Should the United States remove its troops from Western
Europe and let the Europeans defend themselves?
11* How would you rate the job Barack Obama
has been doing as president…do you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat
disapprove, or strongly disapprove of the job he’s
been doing?
