   Q1.

       As you know, Bill Clinton was first elected President in
       November 1992.  He will soon be leaving office after
       8 years as President.  The next several questions ask
       whether you think things have changed since Clinton
       came into office.
       First, would you say that compared to 1992, the federal
       budget deficit is now smaller, larger, or about the same?
