This poll, fielded April 1-5, 2009, is a part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked whether they approved of the way Barack Obama was handling the presidency and issues such as the economy and foreign policy. A series of questions addressed the Obama Administration's approach to solving economic problems and whether the administration's policies favored the rich, the middle class, or the poor. Respondents gave their opinions of First Lady Michelle Obama, the United States Congress, the Republican and Democratic parties, and whether President Obama or the Republicans in Congress were more likely to make the right decisions about the national economy and national security. Views were sought on President Obama's proposed budget plan, including changes in federal income taxes and government spending, and proposals to give financial assistance to the banking and automotive industries. A series of questions addressed the condition of the national economy, the most important economic problem facing the nation, the financial situation of the respondent's household, and how the recession was affecting their life. Respondents compared their current standard of living with that of their parents at the same age and gave their expectations about the standard of living of their children. Other questions asked respondents what the phrase "American dream" meant to them and whether they had achieved the "American dream" or expected to in their lifetime. Additional topics addressed the bonuses given to AIG insurance company executives, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, international trade, health insurance coverage, and government spending on cancer research. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, education level, marital status, household income, employment status, perceived social class, political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration status and participation history, religious preference, whether respondents had children under the age of 18 years, and whether respondents considered themselves to be a born-again Christian.

Studies of classical gentrification typically focus on the embourgeoisement of neighborhoods and displacement of marginalized people. Recently, a new form of gentrification – super-gentrification – has emerged with the expansion of global finance capital, according to urban geographer Loretta Lees. Super-gentrification entails the further upscaling of already gentrified neighborhoods with the in-migration of upper-income residents and displacement of middle class residents, many of whom were among the initial gentrifiers. Despite the attention policy makers, urban planners, and the media are paying to the “middle class squeeze,” few quantitative studies of super-gentrification exist. Using data from the United States Decennial Census, American Community Survey, public residential sales transaction records, and real estate listings, this article sheds light on the landscape of super-gentrification and how to identify it with a quantitative analysis of changes in income, demographics, and housing affordability in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York since 1970.

For this special topic poll, opinion was solicited before and after President Bill Clinton's State of the Union speech delivered February 17, 1993. Prior to the speech, questions were posed regarding Clinton's handling of the presidency, his campaign promises, the national economy, respondents' personal financial situations, and strategies to reduce the federal budget deficit. Other items assessed the share of tax dollars being spent on defense, Social Security, and health care, issues regarding homosexuals, and Al Gore's and Hillary Clinton's influence on the President. Additional questions concerned improving health care, the likelihood that respondents would watch Clinton's State of the Union speech, whether women nominated to high office by the Clinton Administration were being held to stricter standards than men, and the hiring of illegal aliens. Respondents recontacted in the call-back survey subsequent to the President's speech were queried regarding Clinton's handling of the presidency, the economic plan outlined in his speech, and the federal budget deficit. Background information on respondents includes perception of the amount of income needed to be too rich to be considered middle class, whether the respondent had a gay or lesbian friend/family member, the importance of religion, chances of being out of work sometime in the next 12 months, military service, parental status, economic self-placement, 1992 presidential vote choice, voter registration status, political party, political orientation, religious preference, fundamentalist self-identification, education, age, race, preference for "African-American" or "Black" as a label, Hispanic origin, marital status, family income, sex, and past involvement in expressing opinions by writing to Congress, calling in to a radio or television talk show, calling or writing to a newspaper, and calling an 800 or 900 number.
