Canadian Gallup Poll, May 1986, #509_1

The questions ask opinions about the United States bombing of Libya and the justification for it. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as the influence of religion, the cost of food and smoking.

The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and political variables. Topics of interest include: the amount of money spent on food each week; attending church; giving the death penalty or life sentence for murderers; the effects of scientific experiments on the weather; the ideal number of children to have in a family; the influence of religion on everyday life; the justification of the bombing of Libya; the preferred career for young men; the preferred career for young women; smoking cigarettes; the U.S. bombing of Libya; and whether or not the bombing of Libya will act as a deterrent to terrorism.
