CBS News Somalia Poll, December 1992

Résumé 0

In this special topic poll, respondents were queried regarding United States involvement in Somalia and the former Yugoslavia. Those surveyed were asked if the United States should be sending troops to Somalia to insure that food shipments got through to the people, whether food would get to the Somalians without United States military involvement, whether troops should stay in Somalia only as long as it took to set up supply lines, and whether sending troops to Somalia was worth the possible cost of American lives. Respondents were also asked if they favored the United States using its military forces to keep Serbia from violating the United Nations ban on Serbian flights over Bosnia, whether it was more important for the United States to be involved in Somalia or the former Yugoslavia, and whether helping the homeless and hungry in the United States was more important than trying to get food to the people in Somalia. Background information on respondents includes age, race, education, family income, service in the United States armed forces or reserves, political orientation, and party preference.
