Item Americans on WMD Proliferation(2004-04-15) Kull, Steven; Ramsay, Clay; Subias, Stefan; Lewis (aka Fehsenfeld), EvanA PIPA/Knowledge Network Poll dated April 2004Item How the American Public Would Deal with the Budget Deficit(2011-02) Kull, Steven; Ramsey, Clay; Lewis (aka Fehsenfeld), Evan; Subias, StefanWhat would happen if Americans were to actually sit down and be presented a budget and given the opportunity to make choices and tradeoffs in a single framework? To answer this question, the Center on Policy Attitudes presented a representative sample of Americans with 31 of the major areas of the discretionary federal budget, as projected for the year 2015. Participants were given a chance to increase or decrease each item as they saw fit. Seventy-six percent reduced spending overall, with the average respondent making net cuts of $145.7 billion. By far the largest cuts were to defense spending (which constituted the majority of all cuts), followed by intelligence, military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the federal highway system—all of which were cut by at least half of respondents. Some items were increased: especially job training, aid to higher education, and energy conservation and renewables.Item Faith and Global Policy Challenges Questionnaire(2011-12) Kull, Steven; Steinbruner, John; Gallagher, Nancy; Ramsay, Clay; Lewis (aka Fehsenfeld), Evan; Siegel, Jonas; Jones, Kevin; Subias, StefanThis document includes the complete survey questionnaire for the study "Faith and Global Policy Challenges," as well as the study's raw data.Item Faith and Global Policy Challenges(2011-12) Kull, Steven; Steinbruner, John; Gallagher, Nancy; Ramsay, Clay; Lewis (aka Fehsenfeld), Evan; Siegel, Jonas; Jones, Kevin; Subias, StefanIn an effort to understand how the general public and individuals with specific religious traditions think that their spiritual faith intersects with global policy challenges, the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM) and its Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) conducted a public opinion poll. This poll is part of a larger effort to engage faith communities in addressing these challenges. As national governments and civil society contend with these issues, the involvement of religious communities and the application of their convictions could prove decisive.Item Americans on WMD Proliferation(2004-04-15) Kull, Steven; Ramsay, Clay; Subias, Stefan; Lewis (aka Fehsenfeld), Evan; CISSM
