Description The purpose of this study was to assess voter attitudes in Orange County toward immigration and local political representation. Among the survey questions are measures about the levels of voter trust in the County Board of Supervisors in four areas: 1) the future of the Marine Corps Air Station at El Toro; 2) issues concerning ethnic minorities; 3) redistricting; 4) and issues concerning the residents of South Orange County. The survey also includes a knowledge measure about the number of supervisors that voters believe sit on the board and a question about whether they believe five supervisors can effectively represent Orange County. The survey also contains questions about whether voters believe there are significant differences between North and South Orange County as well as support or opposition to a hypothetical proposal to expand the number of seats on the Board of Supervisors. The second part of the survey focuses on attitudes toward guest worker and amnesty programs for immigrants currently living illegally in the United States. Demographic questions in the study include: internet usage, education, length of time living in the United States and Orange County, age, income, ethnic group affiliation, marital status and number of children living at home. The datafile includes recoded summary variables for region of Orange County in which the respondent lives (North or South) based on zipcode, as well as a weighting variable to account for minor variations between sample partisan and demographic characteristics and those of the county population as a whole.
