Summary
This special topic poll sought respondents' views on the public perception of Japan, including the people, the economy, trade practices, and Japan's international agenda. Those queried were asked to provide their overall impression of Japan, to describe current relations between the United States and Japan, and to analyze the contemporary political trends in Japan. A series of questions addressed trade between the two countries, specifically the strength of the Japanese economy and the potential reduction of Japan's trade surplus with the United States. Respondents were also asked to describe the extent of anti-Japanese sentiments in the United States. Background variables include sex and knowledge of people who harbored anti-Japanese sentiments.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06819.v1
