National
Survey of 1,000 Likely Voters
Conducted May 30-31, 2012
By Rasmussen Reports
1* Generally
speaking, are American elections fair to voters?
2* Does the current election system
discourage third party challenges?
3* Who should pay for
the primary elections used to select Republican and Democratic candidates for
office - the government or the political parties?
4* In many states,
nominees of the Republican and Democratic parties automatically get on the
ballot. However, third party candidates often need to conduct petition drives
and get thousands of signatures to get on the ballot. If third party candidates
need to submit signatures to get on the ballot, should Republicans and
Democrats have to do the same?
5* Suppose a political party wanted to make its position clear
on an issue like repeal of the health care law. Should a
political party be allowed to require that all of its candidates support
that position if they want the party's nomination?
