MEMORANDUM

Richard Richards
FROM:
Richard B. Wirthlin
DATE:
January 29, 1982
SUBJECT: Political Climate
Although support on specific Reagan proposals may have declined
slightly. Americans, in general, are more optimistic about the
future of the country than they were a year ago.
Right Direction/Wrong Track
On the question of whether the country is generally headed in the
right direction or the wrong track, a marked difference is evident
between January 1981 and January 1982. A year ago, only 26% felt
the country was going in the right direction. Twelve months
later, that figure has risen to 50%. It should be noted, however,
that this measure is rather sensitive to the latest news events
which often shape, rather than report, public opinion.
Those who presently feel the country is off on the wrong direction
include senior citizens (52%), single women (61%), those with
less than a high school education (61%), and the lowest incomes
(72%), Blacks (79%), and Democrats.
Number One Problem
Economic issues continue to dominate the list of what the public
considers to be the nation's number one problem; however, the
composition of that economic rating has shifted slightly, over the
last year. As the attached table shows, unemployment has risen
sharply over the last year--from 4% to 17%. However, inflation
remains the single highest response, at 24%. Unemployment
receives its highest marks from Democrats, single men, middle
income, and midwestern respondents.
On the state level, unemployment retains its paramount position,
with 27% responding. This is up from nine percentage points from
last February.

Hard Time Making Ends Meet
Undoubtedly contributing to existing "wrong track" scores are
concerns over the economy. One question addresses the immediate
financial situation:
In the next six months, do you think it is
very likely, somewhat likely or not very likely
that the average family will have a harder time
making ends meet?
Very likely
71%
Somewhat likely
20
Not very likely
8
Not sure
1
Basically, the same subgroups who feel the country is on the wrong
track (minorities, the poor, women and liberals) express the strongest
"very likely" sentiment on this question.
Average Man Getting Worse
A similar measure asks people to agree or disagree with the following
statement:
In spite of what some people say, the condition of
the average man is getting worse, not better.
Strongly agree
41%
Somewhat agree
26
Somewhat disagree
20
Strongly disagree
12
No opinion
1
Again, those giving the most pessimistic responses include women,
the least educated, blue collar workers, Blacks, Democrats, and
those disapproving of Ronald Reagan's performance.
Predictions for the Next Year
Both in January 1982 and February 1981, respondents were asked
whether they expected the next 12 months to be a time of peace,
or discord, economic prosperity or difficulty. Consistent with
last year's measures, the pessimistic view receives the majority
on both fronts. On the economy 81% currently predict difficulty,
16% predict prosperity. These figures are nearly identical to
those gathered last February. The only subgroup making a strong
showing for "a year of economic prosperity" are strong Republicans,
but even they only generate 28% responding optimistically.

On the question of a year of peace or a year of discord and
disputes, the discord viewpoint has gained a sizeable advantage
over last year. Presently 79% expect discord with only 18%
predicting peace. Those who are most likely to label 1982 as
a year of disputes and international trouble include young women,
Blacks, and liberals.
Measures of Cynicism and Authoritarianism
Three other questions asked on this study relate to the positive
or negative feelings the public has toward government and its
leaders.
One measure has shown improvement over the last year:
As the government is now organized and operated,
I think it is hopelessly incapable of dealing
with all the crucial problems facing the country
today.
Agree strongly
22%
Agree somewhat
26
Disagree somewhat
27
Disagree strongly
24
No opinion
1
As the attached graph shows, this represents an increase in the
amount of confidence the public places in government. A year ago,
63% agreed with this statement compared to today's 48%.
Another measure has held nearly even over last year:
For the most part the government serves the
interests of a few organized groups such as
business or labor and isn't very concerned
about the needs of people like myself.
Agree strongly
36%
Agree somewhat
29
Disagree somewhat
20
Disagree strongly
14
No opinion
2
As the attached graph shows, there has been very little movement in
this measure since January 1981. Generally speaking, women, blue
collar workers, Blacks and the poor are more likely to agree with
this statement than are other subgroups.

The final measure asks respondents to rate the value of strong
leadership to the country:
A few good leaders could make this country
better than all the laws and talk.
Agree strongly
41%
Agree somewhat
29
Disagree somewhat
15
Disagree strongly
13
No opinion

Although there has been a slight decline in the strong agreement with
this statement, overall agreement remains high at 70%. Strongest
agreement comes from senior citizens, Blacks, the least educated
and those strongly disapproving of Reagan's performance as President.

Richard B. Wirthlin
DATE:
February 2, 1982
SUBJECT:
The Economy
The Reagan Economic Program
Nearly six out of every ten Americans say the Reagan economic program
will help the national economy but 50% concur with the statement
that the program is not "helpful to people like you." Both figures
have been holding almost steady over the last two months.
Those who give the strongest positive ratings to the program's
impact on the economy tend to be men, people between 25 and 44
years old, and college graduates. Optimism increases with income.
However, it is interesting to note the strongest positive readings
come from those with incomes between $30,000 - $40,000 (74%) while
support drops to 69% among those with incomes over $40,000.
Support from professional workers remains the highest of any
occupational category, with 70% responding help. The "help"
ratings from blue collar workers, on the other hand, have dropped
precipitously over the past year. In February, 1981, 75% of the
blue collar respondents felt the program would help; now only
51% of them feel this way.
Minority respondents remain adversly disposed to the Reagan
economic plan. Among Blacks, for example, only 22% say the programs
will help while 74% say they will hurt.
Perhaps the clearest distinctions of support or opposition to the
Reagan economic program can be seen along partisan and ideological
lines. Among strong Republicans 80% say the program will help.
Strong Democrats, by contrast, yield only 29% saying it will help.
Similarly, among conservatives the program is viewed positively
by 68% of the respondents, but among liberals the figure drops to
44%.

The Margin of Patience
Of importance here as well is the amount of time the public is
willing to allow before it judges the effects of the economic
program. To test this, respondents were asked, "Just generally,
how long from now do you think it will be before we would begin
to see either the helpful or harmful effects of Reagan's proposed
economic program?" In the aggregate, two thirds of the public
says it will be a year or more; 9%, on the other hand, say the
effects are being felt right now. The remaining 22% give the
program between three to six months.
Women are less generous than men on this dimension as a third of
the women give the program less than a year.
Those with the shortest responses include single women (12% say
"now"), lower income and blue collar respondents. As to be
expected, Republicans give the President's program more time than
do Democrats. Ideologically as well, conservatives give the
program more leeway than do liberals. For example, among the
very liberal, 65% give the program one year or less, with 17%
saying "now." Among the very conservative, on the other hand,
only 9% give the "now" response.
In addition, the economic program was rated on several dimensions
including the effects on inflation and employment.
Reduce Inflation
The program receives somewhat positive scores on the question of
whether or not it will reduce inflation. Overall, 59% say it will
reduce inflation, while 36% say it will not and 5% have no opinion.
Men, professionals and Republicans give higher than average scores.
Slightly lower results are seen in response to the propositions the
Reagan program will improve productivity. On the aggregate, 53%
say the program will stimulate productivity compared to 40% who
say it will not. Subgroups distinctions are nearly the same as
for the previous question.
Increase Employment
On the issue of the program's ability to increase employment. The
results are less conclusive. Presently, 48% say it will increase
employment, while 47% say it will not. Here party affiliation
makes the biggest difference. Among strong Republicans, 77% say
Reagan's economic proposals will improve employment, while only
16% of the strong Democrats feel this way.

Slippage
Two other dimensions most graphically show a gradually deteriorating
support for the economic program. Currently, 45% of the public rates
the program as "helpful to people like you while 50% say it is not
helpful. Those responding the most negatively include single men
and women, minorities, Democrats and liberals. A wide disparity is
also seen on the basis of income. Among those with the lowest
incomes (under $5,000 annually) 77% say the program is not helpful
to them; among those with incomes over $40,000, however, the "not
helpful" rating drops to 33% while "helpful" rises to 62%.
Also showing deterioriation over the last year is the consideration
of the program as fair or unfair. Last February, nearly three
quarters of the public considered the program to be fair. Now 60%
feel the program is fair while 35% feel it is unfair. Those who
are most likely to consider the program unfair are again the lower
income, minority and liberal respondents.
Contributing to the negative perceptions of the economic program is
the predominant view that Reagan's plans favor the rich. Respondents
were asked:
Overall, would you say Ronald Reagan's
economic program best meets the needs
of
poor and lower income people
middle income people upper income
people
or would you say his
economic program equally meets the needs
of all people?
Poor/lower income
2%
Middle class
13
Upper income
59
All people equally
24
None
1
No opinion
2
Those who feel most strongly that the program benefits the rich include
single women (69%), Blacks (83%), residents of the northeast (63%),
and liberals (71%).
Income distinctions are somewhat predictable. The lower the incomes,
the more likely to say the program favors the rich. The higher the
income, the more likely to say the program's benefits are equally
distributed.

Richard Richards
FROM:
Richard B. Wirthlin
DATE:
January 29, 1982
SUBJECT: The Budget
When faced with four pre-structured budgeting options, Americans
would rather cut non-defense spending than raise revenues or face
an unbalanced budget.
Specifically, respondents were asked:
As you may know, the government has a number of goals
which it would like to fulfill, such as balancing
the budget, reducing inflation and providing
necessary services. Sometimes, in order to reach
one of these goals, certain tradeoffs have to be
made. I'm going to read you a list of four
options the government may have to face. I'd like
you to rank these four actions, that is please
tell me which one you would choose first if you
had to choose, the second, third and finally
which action you would be least likely to
choose.

Certain deviations from the norm are evident upon further analysis.
For instance, older respondents place a higher premium on defense;
consequently they are likely to inverse the normal order and list
decreased defense spending as the least likely to be first choice.

Single women also generate some different patterns. Cutting federal
spending and postponing the tax cut each receive 27% of the mentions
as their first choice.
Postgraduates list cutting defense spending as their highest priority
as do Blacks and the very liberal.
To get a close look at the issue of federal spending, respondents
were asked how much they would like the government to spend on
specific programs.
Let's talk for a few minutes about government
spending on some specific programs. I'm going
to read you a list of these programs. For each
one, please tell me, in your opinion, whether
the federal government should spend more or
should spend less on each program. I'm going
to read the whole list first, and then will
go over each one and get your opinion.
(IF RESPONDENT SAYS "SPEND MORE", ASK:) And
would you be willing to have your own taxes
increased to support this program or not?

programs with figures collected last year. Note the significant
changes in support for defense spending (a move toward less spending)
and unemployment compensation (a slight shift toward more spending).

SUBJECT:
Reagan Performance
President Reagan has started off the new year with a moderately
high rating from the American public. Six out of every ten
Americans approve of the job Reagan is doing as President, a figure
which has held relatively steady this winter.
As we have seen in the past, Reagan's strongest supporters are the
more conservative, upper income and white respondents. What has
been happening over past months, however, is the creation of an
increasingly partisan base of support. Subgroups which previously
gave this base some diversity have been lowering their approval
of the President at a faster rate than in the aggregate. These
groups include older, middle income and blue collar workers.
A comparison with where Reagan stood a year ago is seen on one of
the attached charts. As to be expected, more people have now
formed an opinion of the President. Also echoing an historic
trend, is the decline in the President's job rating. More often
than not, a president loses approval during his first term
in office. What has varied is the amount of that loss (or gain).
Reagan has dropped only two percentage points during his first
term, as measured by Gallup. When compared to the past seven
Presidents, Reagan's loss is negligible. Only two of our modern-
day presidents--Kennedy and Nixon--actually gained in popularity
during their first term. Eisenhower broke even while the other
five have shown a loss. Of those, Reagan's drop is minimal--only
two percentage points compared to Truman's -37 points or Ford's
-25.
Reagan was also assessed on his handling of specific issues. On
the economy, the President receives a 57% approval rating. Again,
it is the Republicans, the upper income, white collar professionals
Decision/Making/Information
Meese, Baker, and Deaver
February 2, 1982
Page Two
that respond well on this dimension. Conversely, blue collar, low
income, liberal Democrats give Reagan his lowest ratings in this
regard.
Although Reagan fares well on this general economic job rating, he
lags behind on his handling of some specific economic problems. For
instance only a third of the public approves of his handling of
unemployment. Only among Republicans and those considered as the
least cynical about politics does Reagan receive a majority
approving of his handling of this issue. In all other subgroups,
the approval is below 50% of the population. Among strong
Democrats, Hispanics and Blacks, for instance, the disapproval
rating for Reagan's handling of unemployment is greater than 80%.
On inflation, the President receives better ratings. In the
aggregate, he holds on to a bare majority with 51% approving of
his handling of inflation. Approval falls below a third among
high cynics, the very liberal, Blacks and those with the lowest
incomes.
Reagan receives his highest marks on his handling of government
waste with over two-thirds of the American public approving and
only 22% disapproving. In nearly every subgroup, Reagan retains
a majority approval on this issue. The only groups generating
less than 50% approval are strong Democrats, Blacks and those
with incomes under $10,000.
On a related question, respondents were asked, "From what you've
heard and read, has Ronald Reagan cut government spending ... enough
...
more than enough,
...
or not enough during his first year as
President?"
The general consensus is that President Reagan does not need to
cut government spending any more, with nearly six out of ten feeling
he has cut "enough" or "more than enough." However, 37% of the
people feel that Reagan has not cut enough.
People feeling that Reagan has cut more than enough are those who
are most directly affected by cuts in social programs, and include
55-64 year olds, low income respondents and Blacks. Democrats
and liberals also feel that Reagan has been too severe on cutting
government spending.
Respondents who are in the high income categories, live in the
mountain states, and Lutherans feel stronger than average that
President Reagan has not cut enough in government spending.
The other specific issue tested is Reagan's handling of foreign
affairs. In the aggregate, 59% of the people approve of Reagan's
performance in this regard. The same support pattern emerges as
-79-
Decision/Making/Information
Meese, Baker, and Deaver
February 2, 1982
Page Three
for most of the other issues: strong support by the conservatives,
Republicans and upper income people on one end versus disapproval
from the Democrats, Blacks and liberals.
Other characteristics of Reagan are also tested. Responses to the
question "What do you like most about Ronald Reagan?" show that the
public continues to admire Reagan for his strong leadership. Since
last February, this quality has risen seven points.
On the opposite dimension, nearly four out of ten people name
ideology or stands on issues as what they least like about Ronald
Reagan. Fourteen percent (14%) also name his job performance as
a problem.
Respondents also assessed President Reagan on certain characteristics
associated with his job. Overall, he receives a good rating as a
strong leader, effective in getting things done and being trustworthy.
He receives these high ratings from his usual Republican supporters,
college graduates, veterans, men and older respondents.
Reagan also promotes a favorable image when compared to the characteristic
such as starting an unnecessary war.
Reagan receives criticism in the areas of showing too much business
favoritism and caring about the needs of the elderly and the poor.
In these areas his ratings hover around the "only fair" category.
Finally, Reagan's stand can be compared with other national political
figures. As the attached chart shows, Reagan continues to get a
higher rating than either Walter Mondale or Ted Kennedy. Reagan's
rating has remained nearly constant when compared to last year,
as have Kennedy's and Mondale's. Rankings which have shown some
movement include those for the Republican party (up 1½ points)
and the Democratic party (up nearly 5 points, on a 100 point
scale).

Wirthlin\nDATE:\nJanuary 29, 1982\nSUBJECT: Political Climate\nAlthough support on specific Reagan proposals may have declined\nslightly. Americans, in general, are more optimistic about the\nfuture of the country than they were a year ago.\nRight Direction/Wrong Track\nOn the question of whether the country is generally headed in the\nright direction or the wrong track, a marked difference is evident\nbetween January 1981 and January 1982. A year ago, only 26% felt\nthe country was going in the right direction. Twelve months\nlater, that figure has risen to 50%. It should be noted, however,\nthat this measure is rather sensitive to the latest news events\nwhich often shape, rather than report, public opinion.\nThose who presently feel the country is off on the wrong direction\ninclude senior citizens (52%), single women (61%), those with\nless than a high school education (61%), and the lowest incomes\n(72%), Blacks (79%), and Democrats.\nNumber One Problem\nEconomic issues continue to dominate the list of what the public\nconsiders to be the nation's number one problem; however, the\ncomposition of that economic rating has shifted slightly, over the\nlast year. As the attached table shows, unemployment has risen\nsharply over the last year--from 4% to 17%. However, inflation\nremains the single highest response, at 24%. Unemployment\nreceives its highest marks from Democrats, single men, middle\nincome, and midwestern respondents.\nOn the state level, unemployment retains its paramount position,\nwith 27% responding. This is up from nine percentage points from\nlast February.\n-2-\nDecision/Making/Information\nRichard Richards\nJanuary 29, 1982\nPage Two\nHard Time Making Ends Meet\nUndoubtedly contributing to existing \"wrong track\" scores are\nconcerns over the economy. One question addresses the immediate\nfinancial situation:\nIn the next six months, do you think it is\nvery likely, somewhat likely or not very likely\nthat the average family will have a harder time\nmaking ends meet?\nVery likely\n71%\nSomewhat likely\n20\nNot very likely\n8\nNot sure\n1\nBasically, the same subgroups who feel the country is on the wrong\ntrack (minorities, the poor, women and liberals) express the strongest\n\"very likely\" sentiment on this question.\nAverage Man Getting Worse\nA similar measure asks people to agree or disagree with the following\nstatement:\nIn spite of what some people say, the condition of\nthe average man is getting worse, not better.\nStrongly agree\n41%\nSomewhat agree\n26\nSomewhat disagree\n20\nStrongly disagree\n12\nNo opinion\n1\nAgain, those giving the most pessimistic responses include women,\nthe least educated, blue collar workers, Blacks, Democrats, and\nthose disapproving of Ronald Reagan's performance.\nPredictions for the Next Year\nBoth in January 1982 and February 1981, respondents were asked\nwhether they expected the next 12 months to be a time of peace,\nor discord, economic prosperity or difficulty. Consistent with\nlast year's measures, the pessimistic view receives the majority\non both fronts. On the economy 81% currently predict difficulty,\n16% predict prosperity. These figures are nearly identical to\nthose gathered last February. The only subgroup making a strong\nshowing for \"a year of economic prosperity\" are strong Republicans,\nbut even they only generate 28% responding optimistically.\n-3-\nDecision/Making/Information\nRichard Richards\nJanuary 29, 1982\nPage Three\nOn the question of a year of peace or a year of discord and\ndisputes, the discord viewpoint has gained a sizeable advantage\nover last year. Presently 79% expect discord with only 18%\npredicting peace. Those who are most likely to label 1982 as\na year of disputes and international trouble include young women,\nBlacks, and liberals.\nMeasures of Cynicism and Authoritarianism\nThree other questions asked on this study relate to the positive\nor negative feelings the public has toward government and its\nleaders.\nOne measure has shown improvement over the last year:\nAs the government is now organized and operated,\nI think it is hopelessly incapable of dealing\nwith all the crucial problems facing the country\ntoday.\nAgree strongly\n22%\nAgree somewhat\n26\nDisagree somewhat\n27\nDisagree strongly\n24\nNo opinion\n1\nAs the attached graph shows, this represents an increase in the\namount of confidence the public places in government. A year ago,\n63% agreed with this statement compared to today's 48%.\nAnother measure has held nearly even over last year:\nFor the most part the government serves the\ninterests of a few organized groups such as\nbusiness or labor and isn't very concerned\nabout the needs of people like myself.\nAgree strongly\n36%\nAgree somewhat\n29\nDisagree somewhat\n20\nDisagree strongly\n14\nNo opinion\n2\nAs the attached graph shows, there has been very little movement in\nthis measure since January 1981. Generally speaking, women, blue\ncollar workers, Blacks and the poor are more likely to agree with\nthis statement than are other subgroups.\n-4-\nDecision Making Information\nRichard Richards\nJanuary 29, 1982\nPage Four\nThe final measure asks respondents to rate the value of strong\nleadership to the country:\nA few good leaders could make this country\nbetter than all the laws and talk.\nAgree strongly\n41%\nAgree somewhat\n29\nDisagree somewhat\n15\nDisagree strongly\n13\nNo opinion\n3\nAlthough there has been a slight decline in the strong agreement with\nthis statement, overall agreement remains high at 70%. Strongest\nagreement comes from senior citizens, Blacks, the least educated\nand those strongly disapproving of Reagan's performance as President.\nTHE ECONOMY\nMEMO\nDecision/Making/Informion\nIntelligent alternatives\nfor today's decision makers\n1050 Seventeenth Street N.W., Suite 1100, Washington, D.C. 20036, (202) 822-9010\nMEMORANDUM\nTO:\nRichard Richards\nFROM:\nRichard B. Wirthlin\nDATE:\nFebruary 2, 1982\nSUBJECT:\nThe Economy\nThe Reagan Economic Program\nNearly six out of every ten Americans say the Reagan economic program\nwill help the national economy but 50% concur with the statement\nthat the program is not \"helpful to people like you.\" Both figures\nhave been holding almost steady over the last two months.\nThose who give the strongest positive ratings to the program's\nimpact on the economy tend to be men, people between 25 and 44\nyears old, and college graduates. Optimism increases with income.\nHowever, it is interesting to note the strongest positive readings\ncome from those with incomes between $30,000 - $40,000 (74%) while\nsupport drops to 69% among those with incomes over $40,000.\nSupport from professional workers remains the highest of any\noccupational category, with 70% responding help. The \"help\"\nratings from blue collar workers, on the other hand, have dropped\nprecipitously over the past year. In February, 1981, 75% of the\nblue collar respondents felt the program would help; now only\n51% of them feel this way.\nMinority respondents remain adversly disposed to the Reagan\neconomic plan. Among Blacks, for example, only 22% say the programs\nwill help while 74% say they will hurt.\nPerhaps the clearest distinctions of support or opposition to the\nReagan economic program can be seen along partisan and ideological\nlines. Among strong Republicans 80% say the program will help.\nStrong Democrats, by contrast, yield only 29% saying it will help.\nSimilarly, among conservatives the program is viewed positively\nby 68% of the respondents, but among liberals the figure drops to\n44%.\nDecision/Making/Informati\nRichard Richards\nFebruary 2, 1982\nPage Two\nThe Margin of Patience\nOf importance here as well is the amount of time the public is\nwilling to allow before it judges the effects of the economic\nprogram. To test this, respondents were asked, \"Just generally,\nhow long from now do you think it will be before we would begin\nto see either the helpful or harmful effects of Reagan's proposed\neconomic program?\" In the aggregate, two thirds of the public\nsays it will be a year or more; 9%, on the other hand, say the\neffects are being felt right now. The remaining 22% give the\nprogram between three to six months.\nWomen are less generous than men on this dimension as a third of\nthe women give the program less than a year.\nThose with the shortest responses include single women (12% say\n\"now\"), lower income and blue collar respondents. As to be\nexpected, Republicans give the President's program more time than\ndo Democrats. Ideologically as well, conservatives give the\nprogram more leeway than do liberals. For example, among the\nvery liberal, 65% give the program one year or less, with 17%\nsaying \"now.\" Among the very conservative, on the other hand,\nonly 9% give the \"now\" response.\nIn addition, the economic program was rated on several dimensions\nincluding the effects on inflation and employment.\nReduce Inflation\nThe program receives somewhat positive scores on the question of\nwhether or not it will reduce inflation. Overall, 59% say it will\nreduce inflation, while 36% say it will not and 5% have no opinion.\nMen, professionals and Republicans give higher than average scores.\nSlightly lower results are seen in response to the propositions the\nReagan program will improve productivity. On the aggregate, 53%\nsay the program will stimulate productivity compared to 40% who\nsay it will not. Subgroups distinctions are nearly the same as\nfor the previous question.\nIncrease Employment\nOn the issue of the program's ability to increase employment. The\nresults are less conclusive. Presently, 48% say it will increase\nemployment, while 47% say it will not. Here party affiliation\nmakes the biggest difference. Among strong Republicans, 77% say\nReagan's economic proposals will improve employment, while only\n16% of the strong Democrats feel this way.\n_35_\nDecision/Making/Information\nRichard Richards\nFebruary 2, 1982\nPage Three\nSlippage\nTwo other dimensions most graphically show a gradually deteriorating\nsupport for the economic program. Currently, 45% of the public rates\nthe program as \"helpful to people like you while 50% say it is not\nhelpful. Those responding the most negatively include single men\nand women, minorities, Democrats and liberals. A wide disparity is\nalso seen on the basis of income. Among those with the lowest\nincomes (under $5,000 annually) 77% say the program is not helpful\nto them; among those with incomes over $40,000, however, the \"not\nhelpful\" rating drops to 33% while \"helpful\" rises to 62%.\nAlso showing deterioriation over the last year is the consideration\nof the program as fair or unfair. Last February, nearly three\nquarters of the public considered the program to be fair. Now 60%\nfeel the program is fair while 35% feel it is unfair. Those who\nare most likely to consider the program unfair are again the lower\nincome, minority and liberal respondents.\nContributing to the negative perceptions of the economic program is\nthe predominant view that Reagan's plans favor the rich. Respondents\nwere asked:\nOverall, would you say Ronald Reagan's\neconomic program best meets the needs\nof\npoor and lower income people\nmiddle income people upper income\npeople\nor would you say his\neconomic program equally meets the needs\nof all people?\nPoor/lower income\n2%\nMiddle class\n13\nUpper income\n59\nAll people equally\n24\nNone\n1\nNo opinion\n2\nThose who feel most strongly that the program benefits the rich include\nsingle women (69%), Blacks (83%), residents of the northeast (63%),\nand liberals (71%).\nIncome distinctions are somewhat predictable. The lower the incomes,\nthe more likely to say the program favors the rich. The higher the\nincome, the more likely to say the program's benefits are equally\ndistributed.\nDecision/Making/Informati\nTHE BUDGET\nMEMO\nDecision/Making/Information\nIntelligent alternatives\nfor today's decision makers\n1050 Seventeenth Street N.W., Suite 1100, Washington, D.C. 20036, (202) 822-9010\nMEMORANDUM\nTO:\nRichard Richards\nFROM:\nRichard B. Wirthlin\nDATE:\nJanuary 29, 1982\nSUBJECT: The Budget\nWhen faced with four pre-structured budgeting options, Americans\nwould rather cut non-defense spending than raise revenues or face\nan unbalanced budget.\nSpecifically, respondents were asked:\nAs you may know, the government has a number of goals\nwhich it would like to fulfill, such as balancing\nthe budget, reducing inflation and providing\nnecessary services. Sometimes, in order to reach\none of these goals, certain tradeoffs have to be\nmade. I'm going to read you a list of four\noptions the government may have to face. I'd like\nyou to rank these four actions, that is please\ntell me which one you would choose first if you\nhad to choose, the second, third and finally\nwhich action you would be least likely to\nchoose.\nFirst Second Third Fourth\nChoice\nChoice\nChoice\nChoice\nPostponing the tax\ncut\n26%\n31%\n25%\n14%\nReducing defense\nspending\n22\n20\n23\n32\nReducing all federal\nspending except\ndefense\n34\n24\n22\n16\nNot balancing the budget\n15\n21\n26\n34\nCertain deviations from the norm are evident upon further analysis.\nFor instance, older respondents place a higher premium on defense;\nconsequently they are likely to inverse the normal order and list\ndecreased defense spending as the least likely to be first choice.\nDecision/Making/Information\nRichard Richards\nJanuary 29, 1982\nPage Two\nSingle women also generate some different patterns. Cutting federal\nspending and postponing the tax cut each receive 27% of the mentions\nas their first choice.\nPostgraduates list cutting defense spending as their highest priority\nas do Blacks and the very liberal.\nTo get a close look at the issue of federal spending, respondents\nwere asked how much they would like the government to spend on\nspecific programs.\nLet's talk for a few minutes about government\nspending on some specific programs. I'm going\nto read you a list of these programs. For each\none, please tell me, in your opinion, whether\nthe federal government should spend more or\nshould spend less on each program. I'm going\nto read the whole list first, and then will\ngo over each one and get your opinion.\n(IF RESPONDENT SAYS \"SPEND MORE\", ASK:) And\nwould you be willing to have your own taxes\nincreased to support this program or not?\nTotal \"Spend More\"\nCrime\n75%\nEducation\n67\nEnergy\n59\nMedicaid\n54\nSchool\n50\nDefense\n50\nUnemployment\n41\nAFDC\n36\nFood Stamps\n23\nForeign Aid\n12\nThe attached graphs show the comparison between ten programs tested\nin this study. The table shows the comparison of eight of these\nprograms with figures collected last year.

Wirthlin\nDATE:\nFebruary 2, 1982\nSUBJECT:\nReagan Performance\nPresident Reagan has started off the new year with a moderately\nhigh rating from the American public. Six out of every ten\nAmericans approve of the job Reagan is doing as President, a figure\nwhich has held relatively steady this winter.\nAs we have seen in the past, Reagan's strongest supporters are the\nmore conservative, upper income and white respondents. What has\nbeen happening over past months, however, is the creation of an\nincreasingly partisan base of support. Subgroups which previously\ngave this base some diversity have been lowering their approval\nof the President at a faster rate than in the aggregate. These\ngroups include older, middle income and blue collar workers.\nA comparison with where Reagan stood a year ago is seen on one of\nthe attached charts. As to be expected, more people have now\nformed an opinion of the President. Also echoing an historic\ntrend, is the decline in the President's job rating. More often\nthan not, a president loses approval during his first term\nin office. What has varied is the amount of that loss (or gain).\nReagan has dropped only two percentage points during his first\nterm, as measured by Gallup. When compared to the past seven\nPresidents, Reagan's loss is negligible. Only two of our modern-\nday presidents--Kennedy and Nixon--actually gained in popularity\nduring their first term. Eisenhower broke even while the other\nfive have shown a loss. Of those, Reagan's drop is minimal--only\ntwo percentage points compared to Truman's -37 points or Ford's\n-25.\nReagan was also assessed on his handling of specific issues. On\nthe economy, the President receives a 57% approval rating. Again,\nit is the Republicans, the upper income, white collar professionals\nDecision/Making/Information\nMeese, Baker, and Deaver\nFebruary 2, 1982\nPage Two\nthat respond well on this dimension. Conversely, blue collar, low\nincome, liberal Democrats give Reagan his lowest ratings in this\nregard.\nAlthough Reagan fares well on this general economic job rating, he\nlags behind on his handling of some specific economic problems. For\ninstance only a third of the public approves of his handling of\nunemployment. Only among Republicans and those considered as the\nleast cynical about politics does Reagan receive a majority\napproving of his handling of this issue. In all other subgroups,\nthe approval is below 50% of the population. Among strong\nDemocrats, Hispanics and Blacks, for instance, the disapproval\nrating for Reagan's handling of unemployment is greater than 80%.\nOn inflation, the President receives better ratings. In the\naggregate, he holds on to a bare majority with 51% approving of\nhis handling of inflation. Approval falls below a third among\nhigh cynics, the very liberal, Blacks and those with the lowest\nincomes.\nReagan receives his highest marks on his handling of government\nwaste with over two-thirds of the American public approving and\nonly 22% disapproving. In nearly every subgroup, Reagan retains\na majority approval on this issue. The only groups generating\nless than 50% approval are strong Democrats, Blacks and those\nwith incomes under $10,000.\nOn a related question, respondents were asked, \"From what you've\nheard and read, has Ronald Reagan cut government spending ... enough\n...\nmore than enough,\n...\nor not enough during his first year as\nPresident?\"\nThe general consensus is that President Reagan does not need to\ncut government spending any more, with nearly six out of ten feeling\nhe has cut \"enough\" or \"more than enough.\" However, 37% of the\npeople feel that Reagan has not cut enough.\nPeople feeling that Reagan has cut more than enough are those who\nare most directly affected by cuts in social programs, and include\n55-64 year olds, low income respondents and Blacks. Democrats\nand liberals also feel that Reagan has been too severe on cutting\ngovernment spending.\nRespondents who are in the high income categories, live in the\nmountain states, and Lutherans feel stronger than average that\nPresident Reagan has not cut enough in government spending.\nThe other specific issue tested is Reagan's handling of foreign\naffairs. In the aggregate, 59% of the people approve of Reagan's\nperformance in this regard. The same support pattern emerges as\n-79-\nDecision/Making/Information\nMeese, Baker, and Deaver\nFebruary 2, 1982\nPage Three\nfor most of the other issues: strong support by the conservatives,\nRepublicans and upper income people on one end versus disapproval\nfrom the Democrats, Blacks and liberals.\nOther characteristics of Reagan are also tested. Responses to the\nquestion \"What do you like most about Ronald Reagan?\" show that the\npublic continues to admire Reagan for his strong leadership. Since\nlast February, this quality has risen seven points.\nOn the opposite dimension, nearly four out of ten people name\nideology or stands on issues as what they least like about Ronald\nReagan. Fourteen percent (14%) also name his job performance as\na problem.\nRespondents also assessed President Reagan on certain characteristics\nassociated with his job. Overall, he receives a good rating as a\nstrong leader, effective in getting things done and being trustworthy.\nHe receives these high ratings from his usual Republican supporters,\ncollege graduates, veterans, men and older respondents.\nReagan also promotes a favorable image when compared to the characteristic\nsuch as starting an unnecessary war.\nReagan receives criticism in the areas of showing too much business\nfavoritism and caring about the needs of the elderly and the poor.\nIn these areas his ratings hover around the \"only fair\" category.\nFinally, Reagan's stand can be compared with other national political\nfigures. As the attached chart shows, Reagan continues to get a\nhigher rating than either Walter Mondale or Ted Kennedy. Reagan's\nrating has remained nearly constant when compared to last year,\nas have Kennedy's and Mondale's. Rankings which have shown some\nmovement include those for the Republican party (up 1½ points)\nand the Democratic party (up nearly 5 points, on a 100 point\nscale).\n-80-\nDecision/Making/Information\nPRESIDENTIAL PERFORMANCE\nCROSS-TABULATIONS\nDecision/Making/informati\n1981 SUMMARY OF NATL ATTITUDES / 3151 /EAGLE I-TR7 PAGE\n13\nTABLE 154\n2.
