least some of the time, while 19% say all the time. For another 34%, the =
NRA never represents their views, while 3% were not sure. In addition, =
29% of the respondents who voted for President-elect George W. Bush said =
the NRA represents their views all the time, compared to 9% of the =
respondents who voted for Vice President Al Gore who said the NRA =
represents their views all the time.

In comparison, 59% of those surveyed said the Religious Right represents =
their personal point of views at least some of the time with 13% who =
said all the time. Another 35% said the Religious Right never represents =
their views and 6% were not sure. A slim majority (55%) said the AFL-CIO =
represented their personal views at least some of the time, with 6% who =
said all the time and 35% who said the labor organization never =
represents their views.

Survey results show that 86% of the Republicans said the NRA represented =
their views at least some of the time, compared to 68% of the =
Independents and 39% of the Democrats. Democrats were stronger in their =
belief that the AFL-CIO represented their views at least some of the =
time (71%) compared to Republicans (34%) or Independents (58%). =
Republicans were stronger in their belief that the Religious Right =
represented their views at least some of the time (74%) than Democrats =
(50%) or Independents (55%).

Zogby's "American Values" polls are conducted quarterly to probe the =
strength of fundamental values held by Americans, and to determine what =
will ultimately have the greatest influences on their behavior. This is =
the fourth in a series of Zogby's "American Values" surveys. The survey =
has a margin of sampling error of +/-3.2%.=20

Results also show that after playing a key role in determining the =
outcome of Election 2000, a majority (54%) say decisions by the U.S. =
Supreme Court are just about right. At the same time 22% say the Supreme =
Court's decisions are too conservative, and 18% believe the decisions =
are too liberal. Another 7% were not sure.=20

Republicans (63%) and Independents (60%) were stronger in their support =
of Supreme Court decisions being just about right compared to Democrats =
(41%). Also, respondents who voted for President-elect George W. Bush =
also were stronger in their support of Supreme Court decisions being =
just about right (66%), than respondents who voted for Vice President Al =
