Public opinion poll - May 1999

This investigation is part of a broader series of studies designed to gauge the population's political attitudes and voting intentions. This series of studies comprises four opinion polls conducted by the ICCV between July 1997 and May 1999. It should be noted that the research instruments used were not identical across the entire series of surveys; the items included in the questionnaires were adapted to the political reality at the time the survey was conducted. Nevertheless, all the instruments used contain sets of common items, which allow, to a certain extent, for the dynamic study of the population's attitudes and opinions, particularly regarding: - Subjective assessment of the country's economic situation;- subjective assessment of one's own economic situation;- optimism regarding the country's overall situation. The chosen approach-that of using items that do not allow for the comparison of results across successive surveys-was adopted because the purpose of the surveys was not to investigate political attitudes over time or to make comparisons from one point in time to another, but rather to capture the attitudes and opinions of the population in response to various events taking place on the national and international political scene and to assess the extent to which these events influence the population's electoral choices. The questionnaire used focused on the following dimensions: - Subjective assessment of the country's economic situation; - subjective assessment of one's own economic situation; - optimism regarding the country's overall situation; - subjective poverty; - general attitude toward taxes;- attitude toward the Government's performance;- satisfaction with the performance of state institutions;- attitudes toward political parties and political leaders;- trust in political figures;- voting intention.
