Content

AbstractPolitical attitudes and judgement on parties as well as politicians. The contents of the three surveys (ZA Study Nos. 1323 - 1325) are each divided in two, in a block of questions identical at all survey times and a further block specific to the respective wave. Topics: 1. The first set of topics encompasses the part common to all three surveys, as described under ZA Study No. 1323. 2. Beyond the common part the following questions were posed in this wave: reasons for particular attraction by or rejection of parties (scales); attitude to separation of CDU and CSU as well as to a nation-wide expansion of the CSU; judgement on the usefulness of the newly founded ´Citizen Party´ and of the ´Green List´; judgement on the chances of the two parties to obtain seats in the Federal Parliament; personal intent to vote for these parties; judgement on the effort of the government for greater populism; expected opportunities for the parties to influence the government´s populism; the party making the greatest effort for populism; personal opinion allegiance and frequency of seeking advice; party preference of the opinion leader; personal intent to participate in the election and party preference at the state level (Sunday question); classification of selected parties and politicians on a left-right continuum as well as self-assessment on this scale. Miscellaneous: presence at home on the last three evenings; weekday of interview. Demography: age; sex; marital status; employment; number of recipients of income; household composition; household size; position in household; characteristics of spouse; self-assessment of social class; degree of urbanization; distance between workplace and residence; Interviewer rating: length of interview; date.
