European elections, 1989 : pre-election survey, March-April 1989

"This round of Euro-Barometer surveys had for its major focus issues surrounding the European elections. Questions on political party preferences asked respondents which party they felt the closest to, how they voted in their country's last general election, how they would vote if a general election were held tomorrow, which party they would vote for within their countries, how they planned to vote in the June 1989 elections for the European Parliament, how they viewed the importance of certain national problems, and what they thought about democracy and individual liberties. In addition to obtaining regular readings of support for European integration and the perceived quality of life, each of the Eurobarometers has explored a variety of special topics."

There is a particular focus on respondent knowledge of and attitudes toward the June 1989 elections for the European Parliametn and on voting behavior and political parties. Attitudes concerning social goals and life satisfaction are also queried. In addition, the respondents' political orientation, outlook for the future, and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics are surveyed."
