Focus group finds voters misperceive Clintons and Dole age
A Baltimore focus group of twelve mid class voters in the Campaign for America study shows difficulty naming Clinton accomplishments. Dole is viewed as older than his 73 years while Perot is labeled articulate yet unstable. Eight favor Rodham Clinton on a map trust question, four favor Perot. Dole earns praise for integrity and war service but seven think he is at least 75 and age is a concern.
