1* Should voters be required to show photo identification such as a drivers license before being allowed to vote?

2* Should election ballots be printed in English only or should they be printed in English and Spanish?

3* n most elections, are large numbers of people prevented from voting who should be allowed to vote

4* Okay… in most elections, are large numbers of people allowed to vote who are not eligible to vote?

5* Some people say that America’s political system is badly broken. Do you agree?

Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.

The Rasmussen Reports ElectionEdgeTM Premium Service for Election 2006 offers the most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a mid-term election. We update the President's Job Approval Ratings daily and are polling every Senate and Governor's race at least once a month in 2006.

Rasmussen Reports was the nation's most accurate polling firm during the Presidential election and the only one to project both Bush and Kerry's vote total within half a percentage point of the actual outcome.

During Election 2004, RasmussenReports.com was also the top-ranked public opinion research site on the web. We had twice as many visitors as our nearest competitor and nearly as many as all competitors combined.

Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, has been an independent pollster for more than a decade.
