Some people seem to follow what's going on in government and 
	public affairs most of the time, whether there's an election or not. 
	Others aren't that interested. Would you say you follow what's going on in 	
	government and public affairs…

	Turning to business conditions in the country as a whole, do you 
	think that during the next 12 months we will have good times financially 
	or bad times?

	Looking ahead, in the country as a whole will we have continued 
	good times during the next 5 years, or will we have periods of widespread 
	unemployment or depression?

	About the big things that people buy for their homes, such as 
	furniture, a refrigerator, a stove, television and things like that--

	On another topic, people have different ideas about the government 
	in Washington. These ideas don't refer to Democrats or Republicans in 
	particular, but just to government in general. We want to see how you feel 
	about these ideas. How much of the time do you think you can trust the 
	government in Washington to do what is right-- just about always, most of 
	the time, or only some of the time?

	Do you think that the government in Washington wastes a lot of the 
	money we pay in taxes, wastes some of it, or doesn't waste very much of 
	it?

	Would you say the government is pretty much run by a few big 
	interests looking out for themselves, or that it is run for the benefit of 
	all the people?

	Now, please tell me how much you agree or disagree with this 
	statement -- people like me don't have any say about what the government 
	does. Do you…..

	How much do you think that having elections makes the government 
	pay attention to what the people think- a good deal, some, or not much?
