Description

"Where America Stands 1996" is an annual survey of what the American public thinks about the major issues facing its nation, based on the most recent polling in each area by The Gallup Poll, plus the essential data analysis to put these opinions in perspective. Issues analyzed include reform on Capitol Hill, the Budget deficit, education, and crime and justice.
