Following are two questions asked in a national poll about vouchers sponsored by the National School Boards Association.
| Congress and some states are considering using tax dollars to provide vouchers for students to send their children to a private or religious school if they wish. Would you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose such a measure? | ||
