Questions to ask the voters:

What, in your opinion, is the biggest political issue or issues in American politics today?


Do other questions, such as the views of Obama's pastor, or Hillary's role in Bosnia, play a role in determining your vote?


Do the negatives about a candidate, lack of experience, lack of credibility, or associated with the Iraq war, play a role in determining who you will vote for?



In the general election, will you vote your political party, or would you consider voting for someone outside your political party?


What is your political party?

Who do you think you will vote for in the 2008 Presidential election?


Other than the three leading candidates for the Presidency, Ralph Nader and Ron Paul are also running, would you consider voting for them? Why or why not? Do you know much about them or their positions?


Where do you get most of your political information? Media? Books? Family/friends? Somewhere else?

Why is voting important to you?



Thank you very much for your time.
