Question wording.....
We are faced with many problems in this country, none of which can be
solved easily or inexpensively. I'm going to name some of these problems,
and for each one I'd like you to tell me whether you think we're
spending too much money on it, too little money, or about the right
amount. Are we spending too much money, too
little, or about the right amount on...
Too Much About Right Too Little
Welfare
40.6 38.2 21.2
Assistance
to the Poor 7.9 25 67.1

Colleagues,
I will be discussing survey design with my Methods students next week,
and to illustrate the importance of question wording, I'd like to show
them the difference in public support of "cash assistance to the poor"
rather than public support of "welfare." I know this example is used
very frequently, but I can't seem to find actual analysis of these two
questions--what percentage of the public supports cash assistance
compared to the percentage who support welfare? Can anyone point me to
some data that shows these differences?
Thanks,
Teresa
