----------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE ON VARIABLE NAMING:

The variable name references used in NES Study codebooks do not include
the "V" prefix found in all variable names used within the released
SAS and SPSS data definition files (.sas and .sps files).

For example, "VAR 920001" and "VAR VERSION" in Study codebooks refer to
V920001 and VVERSION in the study data definition files.


VARIABLE 'NUMBERING':

'Numbered' variables in NES timeseries datasets and in Pilot datasets
(except the 1998 Pilot) comply with the following format:

     2-digit year prefix  +  4 digits  +  [opt] 1-char suffix.

Examples:  1978 Post variable V780002; 1983 Pilot variable V832101.
Note that for datasets including data from multiple studies, the 2-digit
year prefix corresponds to the appropriate study year to which the
variable is associated; for example, the 1983 Pilot dataset also includes
1982 timeseries variables, for which the 2-digit prefix is 82.

Non-time-series studies other than Pilots use 2-character mnemonic
prefixes, for example variable VPS0048 in the 1988-1990-1992 Pooled
Senate Study dataset.


SPECIAL NOTE ON COLUMN LOCATIONS:

Some numeric variables use coding schemes that allow for code values
having a varying number of digits. In such instances, the number
of columns corresponding to the variable in the data file [.dat file]
and in the column specifications  will be the width of the maximum value
occurring in the actual data, rather than the maximum width allowable
by the coding scheme.  For example, if codes 01-12 are allowed for a
numeric variable but all values in the data are less than 10, then the
number of columns corresponding to the variable within the ASCII data

NOTE:  1997 Pilot variables follow 1996 variables, which are included.

          Full sample weight
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               This weight compensates for the unequal probabilities of
               selection for respondents in different size households and
               for different non-response across geographic sample design
               categories and between panel and cross-section
               respondents.  It is post-stratified to the July 1995
               Census population projections for age, by sex by Census
               region categories (Current Population Reports P25-1111,
               Table 4).  This  is a 6 digit variable with a coded
               decimal point and 4 actual decimal places.
               See also the "Construction of Analysis weights" in the
               Sample Design section of the Appendix to the codebook for
               the 1996 study.

          Process.5

          1996 Panel only weight
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               This weight is to be used for analyses which use only the
               1316 panel cases; the cross-section cases have a value of
               "0" in this field.  The weight compensates for the unequal
               probabilities of selection for respondents in different
               size households and for differential non-response across
               geographic sample design categories.  It is post-
               stratified to the July 1995 Census population projections
               for age, by sex by Census region categories (Current
               Population Reports P25-1111, Table 4).
               This weight is centered with a mean of 1.0.  This is a 6-
               digit variable with a coded decimal point and 4 actual
               decimal places.

          1996 Time-series weight
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               This weight should be used in analyses in which the 1996
               Panel is compared to earlier unweighted National Election
               Studies data collections.  This variable corrects for
               panel attrition and for the aging of the Panel
               respondents.  Details on the construction of this variable
               are provided in the Sample Design section of the Appendix
               to the codebook for the 1996 Study.
               This weight is centered with a mean of 1.0.  This is a 6-
               digit variable with a coded decimal point and 4 actual
               decimal places.  Cross-section cases have a value of
               1.0000.

          Additional 1996 Time-series weight - Pre
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               This weight should be used with Pre-election variables.
               Variables V960005a and V960005b were created because
               V960005 did not correct for an underrepresentation in
               Study data of younger and less-educated respondents.
               V960005a and V960005b are constructed to post-stratify
               the NES data to match the Current Population Study
               (CPS) estimate of the distribution of age group by
               education level.  V960005b should be used with Post-
               election variables.  See "NEW WEIGHTS FOR THE 1996
               STUDY" in the introductory portion of this codebook and
               Appendix "Post-Stratified Cross-Sectional Analysis
               Weights for the 1992, 1994 and 1996 NES data."
               This weight should be used in analyses in which the 1996
               Panel is compared to earlier unweighted National Election
               Studies data collections.
               This weight is centered with a mean of 1.0.  This is a 6-

          Summary, R's participation 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               1996 cross section respondents (codes 1 and 2) have been
               interviewed only in 1996 (pre only or pre and post
               interviews).
               All 1996 panel respondents have been interviewed in the
               1994 Post time-series study and may have also been
               interviewed in the 1992 Pre-Post time-series study.  If R
               was interviewed in 1992 (codes 21-24) he/she was
               necessarily interviewed in both the 1992 Pre and 1992 Post
               (this was a requirement to be eligible for the continuing
               panel).
               Panel respondents may also have been interviewed in the
               1993 and/or 1995 Pilot Studies.
               1995 Pilot:  1996 panel respondents who had been fresh
               cross-section in 1994 (first interviewed in 1994) were
               eligible for interviewing in the 1995 Pilot Study; 1996
               Panel respondents who had been first interviewed in 1992
               were not eligible for inclusion in the 1995 Pilot.
               1993 Pilot:  Panel respondents who were interviewed in
               both the 1992 Pre and Post were eligible for 1993 Pilot
               Study interviewing.

          Sample Release
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               In order that analyses of respondents' reactions to
               campaign events not be confounded with ease or difficulty
               of contacting or conducting interviews with respondents,
               NES has, since 1984, followed a strategy of releasing Pre-
               election sample in stages.  In 1996 the sample was
               released in four quarter samples at approximately two week
               intervals.  The allocation of sample lines to target
               periods was random, at the segment level; the sets of
               assigned lines are known as replicates.  Dates of release
               were as follows:  1st replicate 9/3, 2nd replicate 9/12,
               3rd replicate 9/26, 4th replicate 10/10.  Panel cases that
               required tracking because the current address of the
               respondent was not known were released with the first
               replicate.  Two replicates of cross-section cases were
               designated as 'reserve' to release as needed, depending on
               an evaluation of sample performance prior to the release
               of replicate 3.  The reserve replicates of cross-section
               cases were released as follows:  replicate 5 with
               replicate 3 and replicate 6 with replicate 4.

         474      1.   Replicate 1, released September 3
         455      2.   Replicate 2, released September 12
         371      3.   Replicate 3, released September 26
         381      4.   Replicate 4, released October 10
          20      5.   Reserve replicate 5, released with replicate 3
                       (Sept. 26)
          13      6.   Reserve replicate 5, released with replicate 4

          (Cross-section only) Selection table
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               The Selection Table is used to select a respondent from
               all household members who are eligible adults.  (An
               eligible adult is a U.S. citizen who is 18 years of age or
               older by Election Day.)  The Selection Table appears on
               the Coversheet below the Household Listing.
               After a complete listing of the HH is taken, each eligible
               adult is assigned a "Number" based on the criteria of
               gender and age [beginning with the oldest male as number
               1, males are numbered by increments of 1 according to
               descending age; females are numbered by descending age
               starting with the number one higher than that assigned
               to the youngest male].  The interviewer then uses the
               Selection Table to determine the "Number" of the eligible
               adult to be interviewed.
               The Selection Table itself consists of 2 parallel

               total number  of eligible adults in the household; in the
               second column (same row) is identified the Number" of the
               person who will be the respondent.
               There are 8 different Selection Tables used and they are
               randomly assigned. [Note that although only 8 tables are
               used, there are 12 codes in this variable because the 8
               tables are used in cycles of 12; this procedure is used to
               equalize the probability of selection for each eligible
               adult].  A summary describing all 8 Selection Tables
               appears below.

               The HH composition code is derived from information

               included in the HH composition codes below refer to
               adults.
               A designation of a HH member as "the householder" (HHR)
               describes HU member who owns or rents the home (in whose
               name the lease is held).  Cohabiting couples are coded as
               married (30,40, 50-52).  Roommates of opposite sex are
               coded 11,12,21,22; in all cases of unrelated roommates the
               respondent is HHR.

          -----------------------------------------------------------

             Due to an error in the skip logic on the paper
             coversheets, in most interview cases items CD3c, CD3d and
             CD3e A-H were not completed by the interviewer.  An
             attempt was made to recover as much as possible of this
             missing information by reviewing call-records for all
             cases with responses of Yes or NA in CD3a, "Was there
             resistance from this person?"  (Resistance from
             individuals other than the selected respondent was
             disregarded in the recovery process).
             Note that in some instances, interviewers ignored the
             incorrect skip and completed these items on the coversheet.

               For the Panel component, this variable refers to R's
               location when originally selected in 1992 or 1994; the
               respondent may have moved since then.  For the Cross-

               selected in 1996.

               edition.
               For segments from the 1980 National Sample Frame, code 1
               includes all 1980 National Sample Frame self-representing
               areas, plus Newark, NJ (as well as SRP Nassau-Suffolk NY
               as part of the NYC CMSA) and Anaheim and Riverside CA (as
               part of the LA CMSA) plus six other non-selfrepresenting

               Clearwater, FL MSA).
               For Segments from the 1990 National Sample Frame, code 1
               includes all except two of the 28 1990 National Sample
               Frame self-representing areas.  Central Cities of Denver,
               Co MSA and Kansas City MSA are NOT to be coded 1.  Central
               Cities of all other self-representing areas of the 1990
               National Sample Frame are coded 1 (including Nassau-
               Suffolk NY and Newark NJ as part of the NYC, NY-Northern
               NJ CMSA; Los Angeles, Anaheim, and Riverside CA as part of
               the LA-etc. CMSA; and San Francisco and Oakland CA as part
               of the SF-Oakland CA CMSA).   For the most part, no 1990
               Frame non-selfrepresenting MSA Central Cities  are coded
               1, except as noted below.  [NOTE: In 1990, the PSU
               definition in New England states is the New England County
               Metropolitan Area (NECMA).  This means that for the 1990
               Frame segments in New England--there may be Central Cities
               of MSAs included in the NECMA definition that are not in
               the CMSA/MSA definition.  For example, in Boston MA (1990
               frame) the Central Cities include not only those for
               Boston MSA but some from other New England MSAs -- some of
               which could be outside of the Boston CMSA definition and
               could be coded `2'.  It also means that in the Manchester-
               Nashua NH  NECMA (non-selfrepresenting) there are two
               segment selections in Nashua, NH (central city of Nashua
               MA PMSA) which is part of the Boston MA CMSA and has
               therefore been coded `1'.]

               Coded according to the 1990 Census.  The major objective
               of the Census Bureau in delineating urbanized areas is to
               provide a better separation of urban and rural population
               in the vicinity of large citites.  An urbanized area
               consists of a central city or cities, and surrounding
               closely settled territory ("urban fringe").  Size of Place
               codes 21 and 41 include areas that are in the "urban
               fringe" but are not Census Places.
               Note for Codes 50-53:  in a few cases, Non-MSA PSUs (based
               on the 1980 OMB SMSA definitions) contain areas which are
               now part of a 1990 PMSA or MSA (based on the June 1990 OMB
               definition).  In these cases, the Size of Place Code for
               any SSUs (segments) within such areas are coded in the
               "40s" rather than in the "50s" as shown.  This occurred in
               El Dorado county CA (the major part of the El

          1980 Census SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area)
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               See the appendix on CENSUS DEFINITIONS.
               For Panel respondents who moved since their original NES
               contact (1992, 1994), the data corresponding to their
               original sampling address was coded here.
               These SMSA codes were obtained from the Federal
               Information Processing Standard Publication, U.S.
               Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards.
               The 1980 SMSA Codes have for the most part been carried
               over by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to the
               1990 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA's).  However,
               some MSA names and definitions have been modified by OMB
               to reflect shifts in population and changes in
               characteristics of areas.  In the 1996 NES data, the 1980
               SMSA codes have been retained for all parts of the MSA
               primary sampling units (PSU's).  It should be remembered
               that, particularly in the case of PMSAs (which are part of
               consolidated areas (or CMSAs) some counties or county
               parts may in 1990 be defined by OMB as part of a different
               PMSA (a good example is Chicago, IL).  It was felt that
               for NES analysis, to retain the older SMSA codes, which
               correspond to the 1980 sampling frame used for the panel
               component of this sample, was most appropriate for all MSA
               or PMSA areas in that component.
               In those areas designated "Non-SMSA" in our sample frame
               ("Non-MSA" on most of our documentation for 1996 NES),
               there are two PSUs (#464, Gardner, MA, and #482, El
               Dorado/Alpine, CA) in which some of the 1980 rural area
               has in 1990 met the requirements for inclusion in an MSA;
               in these cases the size of place code was modified to
               reflect this and the 1990 MSA number is indicated for the
               affected segments (segment 009 in Gardner, MA, used in
               the 1996 panel, where Barre town--not associated with any
               SMSA in 1980--is now a part of the 1990 Worcester, MA,
               MSA, and all of the 1996 NES Panel segments in El
               Dorado/Alpine, CA,--  all in El Dorado county which is
               part of the 1990 Sacramento, CA, MSA.)

          1990 NECMA/SMSA
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               See the appendix on CENSUS DEFINITIONS.
               The NECMA is the New England County Metropolitan Area code
               as described in the 1990 SRC National Sample Design and
               Development documentation.
               For the Panel component, this variable refers to R's
               location when originally selected in 1992 or 1994; the
               respondent may have moved since then.  For the Cross-
               section component, this reflects R's location where
               selected in 1996.
               In 1990 the U.S. Census adopted slightly different wording
               and abbreviations for metropolitan areas, now known
               collectively as Metropolitan Areas (MAs).  What in 1980
               were Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs)
               became in 1990 either Metropolitan Statistical Areas
               (MSAs) or Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas
               (PMSAs).   MSA is used for a metropolitan area which
               stands alone, i.e., is not a part of a Consolidated
               Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA).  PMSA is used for a
               metropolitan area which is part of a larger CMSA.
               The metropolitan area standards for the 1990's generally
               reflect a continuity with those adopted for the 1980's and
               maintain the basic concepts originally developed in 1950.
               The few substantive changes made between 1980 and 1990 are
               detailed in the Federal Register, Vol. 55, No.62 cited in
               the footnote.
               New England County Metropolitan Areas (NECMAs) provide an
               alternative to the official city-and-town based
               metropolitan statistical areas in that Census region for
               the convenience of data users who desire a county-defined
               set of areas.  NECMAs have their separate definition
               standards detailed in the Federal Register (p. 12159).
               Since the 1990 SRC National Sample primary stage of
               selection was based on the NECMA in New England, the 1990
               NECMA  is provided in place of 1990 MSA or PMSA for this
               variable.  For consistency, New England Panel segments
               which are a part of a 1990 NECMA  also have the NECMA
               coded here.  NECMA numbers end with the numeral 3.

          Flag - changed congressional race status
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               In some congressional districts, the final form of the
               congressional race was not determined at the beginning of
               the 1996 Pre interviewing period.  This variable documents
               (codes 1 and 2) 14 cases within such districts where
               interviewing occurred before the status of the
               congressional race was finalized.  In these cases, the
               names of the most likely candidates were used in the
               administration of the interview (for code 1, see the next
               variable for the race type used at the time of interview
               in these cases).
               In all cases coded 1, the incumbent remained unchanged but
               challenger status was altered - either a challenger was
               added (change from unopposed to opposed incumbent) or else
               dropped (change from opposed to unopposed, expected
               challenger not present in final race).
               For cases coded 1, data about the incumbent candidate have
               been preserved and challenger data have been coded NA or
               Inap as appropriate according to the final race type.  For
               cases coded 2, questions which identified wrong
               (Republican) candidate name have been coded NA.

                   interviewing period; status of congressional race

                   interviewing period, interview not conducted with
                   final candidate names, substitution of major party
                   candidate name (in all cases, Republican candidate)
                   -- RACE TYPE NOT CHANGED

               For cases where congressional race type changed to its
               final form after the interview was conducted, this
               variable describes the status of the congressional race at
               the time the interview was administered. The final form of
               the Congressional race is coded in congressional district
               vars and the type race var, and the data have been made
               consistent with final type race; data for non-final
               candidates are not represented in the datafile.

               the location where R was found at the time of the 1996 Pre
               interview.
               Note:  some congressional districts were redistricted in
               1996.  In all cases of redistricting (see question Summary
               5), no Rs lived in the portions of their Congressional
               Districts which were affected by the redistricting, and

          Move status, 1996 Pre-1996 Post
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               This variable compares R's 1996 Pre interview location
               with R's 1996 Post interview location but has no bearing
               on the administration of House-candidate-related Post
               variables.
               Post variables are administered according to the state and
               CD at which R was located during the Pre interview, since
               in most cases Rs (if registered) have not changed
               registration since the Pre; moreover, in most cases Rs who
               moved between the Pre and Post were primarily exposed to
               the House campaigns of the candidates identified according
               to Pre state and CD.
               It was not systematically determined whether a new Post
               address was in a CD different from Pre CD unless R's new
               location was a different state.  All cases where R was
               found in a different state in the Post are coded 1.
               Additionally, for several cases where R moved within state
               but information was discovered indicating change in CD,
               code 1 has also been coded.  Cases coded 2 indicate that R
               moved within the same state, but CD status (regarding
               change of CD) was NA.

           7      1. R Moved out of Pre CD
          26      2. R Moved, NA if CD changed (R moved within same state)

          I'd like to get your feelings toward some of our
          political leaders and other people who are in the news
          these days.  I'll read the name of a person and I'd like
          you to rate that person using something we call the
          feeling thermometer.
          Ratings between 50 degrees and 100 degrees mean that you
          feel favorable and warm toward the person.  Ratings
          between 0 and 50 degrees mean that you don't feel
          favorable toward the person and that you don't care too
          much for that person.  You would rate the person at the
          50 degree mark if you don't feel particularly warm or
          cold toward the person.  If we come to a person whose
          name you don't recognize, you dn't need to rate the
          person.  Just tell me and we'll move on to the next one.

          There is much concern about the rapid rise in medical
          and hospital costs.  Some people feel there should be a
          government insurance plan which would cover all medical
          and hospital expenses for everyone.  (Suppose these
          people are at one end of a scale, at point 1).  Others
          feel that all medical expenses should be paid by
          individuals and through private insurance plans like
          Blue Cross or some other company paid plans.  (Suppose
          these people are at the other end, at point 7).  And, of
          course, some other people have opinions somewhere in
          between at points 2,3,4,5, or 6.

          Some people feel that the government in Washington
          should make every effort to improve the social and
          economic position of blacks.  (Suppose these people are
          at one end of a scale, at point 1.)  Others feel that
          the government should not make any special effort to
          help blacks because they should help themselves.
          (Suppose these people are at the other end, at point
          7.)  And, of course, some other people have opinions
          somewhere in between, at points 2,3,4,5, or 6.

          Please look at page 11 of the Booklet.
          There has been some discussion about abortion during
          recent years.
          Which one of the opinions on this page best agrees with
          your view?  You can just tell me the number of the
          opinion you choose.
          1. By law, abortion should never be permitted.
          2. The law should permit abortion ONLY in case of rape,
             incest or when the woman's life is in danger.
          3. The law should permit abortion for reasons OTHER THAN
             rape, incest or danger to the woman's life, but only
             after the need for the abortion has been clearly
             established.
          4. By law, a woman should always been able to obtain an
             abortion as a matter of personal choice

          Some people say that the best way to reduce crime is to
          address the social problems that cause crime, like bad
          schools, poverty and joblessness.  (Suppose these people
          are at one end of a scale, at point 1.)  Other people
          say the best way to reduce crime is to make sure that
          criminals are caught, convicted and punished.  (Suppose
          these people are at the other end, at point 7.)  And, of
          course, some other people have opinions somewhere in

          equal role with men in running business, industry, and
          government.  (Suppose these people are at one end of a

          have opinions somewhere in between, at points 2,3,4,5 or

               The spouse employment status summary variables differ
               somewhat from previous years because number of hours of
               current employment was not consistently obtained
               (categories 15,16,17,18 here contain data formerly coded

               Occupation code data for nonworking homemaker/ student
               spouses (last 6 months) are found in Y17e/f(2).
               This variable represents PRESENT employment of spouses
               coded 10,17,18,20 in Y17(1), and represents PAST
               employment of spouses coded 15,16,40,50,60 in Y17(1).  Rs
               coded 70,75,80 in Y17(1) are Inap [see Y17e/f(2) for
               employment within past 6 months].
               The administration of spouse/partner employment questions
               differed from previous years in that a separate 'series'
               of questions was not administered for each employment
               status.  Because a single set of questions describing R's
               occupation, industry, and hours of work was administered
               regardless of employment status, the traditional "stack"
               variables have not been constructed.  However, for greater
               consistency with the "stack" format, there are 2 sets of
               variables representing questions Y17e/f, Y17fx(1),
               Y17fx(2), Y17g, Y17h, the first excluding occupation
               description information for nonworking homemakers/students
               who have worked in the last 6 months (but describing all
               others), and the second providing occupation data only for
               spouses in this category.  "Stack" variables traditionally
               omitted this data.
               Note:  if spouse was both currently working and retired or
               disabled, the interviewer may have asked (or the
               respondent may have preferred to respond) in terms of
               either current OR past employment for occupation
               description [Y17e/f, Y17fx(1),Y17fx(2)], industry
               description [Y17g], and number of hours worked [Y17h].
               Reviewing the cases which fall into these employment
               status categories, it appears that most cases describe
               past employment, in conformity with employment
               descriptions for nonworking retirees/ disabled.  However,
               cases 1945,2298,3161,3298 were ambiguous and have been
               coded 99 NA in this variable.  The occupation codes which
               would have been otherwise assigned to these cases are,
               respectively, 30, 22,48,71.
               The original 3-digit 1980 US Census Occupation variable
               has been recoded into 71 subgroups, in order to protect
               Respondents' anonymity.  Contact NES Project Staff for

               Prestige score data for nonworking homemaker/ student
               spouses (last 6 months) are found in Y17fx(2b).
               This variable represents PRESENT employment of spouses
               coded 10,17,18,20 in Y17(1), and represents PAST
               employment of spouses coded 15,16,40,50,60 in Y17(1).  Rs
               coded 70,75,80 in Y17(1) are Inap [see Y17fx(2b) for
               employment within past 6 months].
               The administration of spouse/partner employment questions
               differed from previous years in that a separate 'series'
               of questions was not administered for each employment
               status.  Because a single set of questions describing R's
               occupation, industry, and hours of work was administered
               regardless of employment status, the traditional "stack"
               variables have not been constructed.  However, for greater
               consistency with the "stack" format, there are 2 sets of
               variables representing questions Y17e/f, Y17fx(1),
               Y17fx(2), Y17g, Y17h, the first excluding occupation
               description information for nonworking homemakers/students
               who have worked in the last 6 months (but describing all
               others), and the second providing occupation data only for
               spouses in this category.  "Stack" variables traditionally
               omitted this data.
               Note:  if spouse was both currently working and retired or
               disabled, the interviewer may have asked (or the
               respondent may have preferred to respond) in terms of
               either current OR past employment for occupation
               description [Y17e/f, Y17fx(1),Y17fx(2)], industry
               description [Y17g], and number of hours worked [Y17h].
               Reviewing the cases which fall into these employment
               status categories, it appears that most cases describe
               past employment, in conformity with employment
               descriptions for nonworking retirees/ disabled.  However,
               cases 1945,2298,3161,3298 were ambiguous and have been
               coded NA in this variable.

               This refers to the VQ file loaded when the interview began.
               Changes were made to the VQ (CAPI application) while in
               the field. Most changes were not significant, with a few
               exceptions.  In 39 cases, the early training VQ was used
               in error.  The significant effects of this error were the
               following 1) absence of randomization 2) D11x instruction
               changed from "SHOW BALLOT CARD" to "DO NOT SHOW BALLOT
               CARD" 3) questions F3 and F4 skipped.  In the Pre and Post
               randomization variables, the unrandomized order in which
               the questions were administered is coded for these cases,
               and the half-sample checkpoints identify the
               (unrandomized) selection or non-selection of these 39
               cases for question series.
               The next variable documents the VQ version in use at the

               temporarily halted and a new VQ was installed prior to the
               resumption of interviewing, the VQ in effect for some
               questions would not be the VQ coded here.

          POST-ELECTION - Refusal conversion indicator
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               This refers to interviews initially refused by someone
               when an interviewer was first attempting contact.  The
               source of this refusal may or may not have been the
               Respondent.
               Conversion may be made by the initial interviewer or
               another interviewer.  If the conversion is not made by the
               initial interviewer, the interviewer of record is the
               interviewer obtaining the conversion.

          27      1. Refusal conversion attempted
        1507      5. Not a refusal conversion situation

          Please look at page 1 of the booklet.
          I'd like to get your feelings toward some of our
          political leaders and other people who are in the news
          these days. I'll read the name of a person and I'd like
          you to rate that person using something we call the
          feeling thermometer.
          Ratings between 50 degrees and 100 degrees mean that you
          feel favorable and warm toward the person.  Ratings
          between 0 degrees and 50 degrees mean that you don't
          feel favorable toward that person and that you don't
          care too much for that person.  You would rate the
          person at the 50 degree mark if you don't feel
          particular warm or cold toward the person.
          If we come to a person whose name you don't recognize,
          you don't need to rate that person.  Just tell me and
          we'll move on to the next one.

               Unlike previous years, and through an error in the
               questionnaire, nonvoters not registered in the county of
               interview were not asked the same version of this question
               as nonvoters who were registered in the county of
               interview.  Thus, all 'out of county' nonvoters (17 cases)
               were not shown a ballot card (second version of question).
               Specifically regarding 'out of county' nonvoters who may
               have been registered in a CD different from the CD of
               interview:   in past studies, all nonvoters were asked for
               preference among candidates within the CD of interview,
               regardless of where they were registered, and the ballot
               card for CD of interview was presented to R.  In 1996 no
               ballot card was shown and no other identification of CD
               for candidate preference was offered to nonvoters
               registered in a different CD.  Among the 17 'out of
               county' nonvoters, no clear indication was found within
               respondents' answers of preference for candidates from CDs
               other than CD of interview, however it is unclear how the
               'out of county' nonvoter responses would have differed if
               the ballot card had been shown.

          Some people say that because of past discrimination,
          blacks should be given preference in hiring and
          promotion.  Others say that such preference in hiring
          and promotion of blacks is wrong because it gives blacks
          advantages they haven't earned.

          Some people feel that the government in Washington
          should make every effort to improve the social and
          economic position of blacks. Suppose these people are
          at one end of a scale, at point 1.  Others feel that the
          government should not make any special effort to help
          blacks because they should help themselves.  Suppose
          these people are at the other end, at point 7. And, of

          Some people think that if a company has a history of
          discriminating against blacks when making hiring
          decisions, then they should be required to have an
          affirmative action program that gives blacks preference
          in hiring.
          What do you think?  Should companies that have

          Some political leaders think federal income taxes should
          be cut by 15% over the next three years.  Other
          political leaders think this would be a bad policy for
          the government to follow.
          Do you have an opinion on this matter, or haven't you
          thought much about this?

          (Turning to page 9 of the booklet)
          Now I have some questions about different groups in our
          society.
          I'm going to show you a seven-point scale on which the
          characteristics of the people in a group can be rated.
          -----------------------------------------------------------

          P2a

          [RB] In the first statement a score of 1 means that you
          think almost all of the people in that group tend to be
          "hard-working." A score of 7 means that you think most
          people in the group are "lazy."  A score of 4 means that
          you think that most people in the group are not closer
          to one end or the other, and of course, you may choose
          any number in between.
          Where would you rate whites in general on this scale
          (hard-working)?
          'HARDWORKING' - WHITES
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               Randomization:  Randomization is documented within the
               collection of randomization variables that appear at the
               end of the post-election survey vars.  The question
               numbers for randomization variables follow survey question
               numbers, preceded by "Rand" [e.g. for question B1a there
               is a randomization variable Rand.B1a].

          Some people think that the government in Washington
          ought to reduce income differences between the rich and
          the poor.  Suppose these people are at one end of a
          scale at point 1.  Other people think that the
          government should not concern itself with reducing
          income different between the rich and the poor.  Suppose
          these people are at the other end of a scale at point
          7.  And, of course, some other people have opinions at

          There are many types of organizations, groups, and
          charities that people might be involved with.  We're
          interested in what kinds of groups you might be involved
          with.  I'm going to read you a list of different types
          of organizations.  For each type, could you tell me the
          name or names of the organizations you are involved with?
          -----------------------------------------------------------

               THIS TEXT BEGINS THE SET OF QUESTIONS R3-R7w  ('GROUPS').

               Variables V961344-V961453 document the questions asked about
               22 categories of groups.
               Variables V961454-V961458 are comprehensive summaries about all
               22 categories of groups.

               For each of the 22 group categories (e.g. Labor Unions), the
               following are determined:

               1) How many groups from this category R is involved with (up
                  to 4 mentions);
               2) Membership in the groups from this category;
               3) Payment of dues/contributions to the groups from this
                  category;
               4) Participation in activities/meetings of the groups from
                  this category;
               5) How often politics is discussed by the groups from this
                  category;

               For every group category, there are 5 category summary 
               variables which correspond to 1)-5) above.  Each of the
               category summary variables is descriptive of all mentions 
               (up to 4 specific groups) for the particular category.
               These variables are documented below.

    [USING THE RB]

    Now looking at page 2 of the booklet, I'd like to get your feelings
    toward some of our political leaders and other people who are in the
    news these days. I'll read the name of a person and I'd like you to
    rate that person using something we call the feeling thermometer.

    Ratings between 50 degrees and 100 degrees mean that you feel favorable
    and warm toward the person.  Ratings between 0 degrees and 50 degrees
    mean that you don't feel favorable toward the person and that you
    don't care too much for that person.

    You would rate the person at the 50 degree mark if you don't feel
    particularly warm or cold toward the person. If we come to a person
    whose name you don't recognize, you don't need to rate that person.
    Just tell me and we'll move on to the next one.

    G1.  [USING RB] Some people think the government should provide
    fewer services even in areas such as health and education in
    order to reduce spending.  Suppose these people are at one end
    of a scale, at point 1.  Other people feel it is important for
    the government to provide many more services even if it means an
    increase in spending.

    Suppose these people are at the other end, at point 7.  And, of
    course, some other people have opinions somewhere in between, at
    points 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

    Christian Fundamentalists. To remedy this, it has been proposed
    that governors be required to appoint more Christian
    Fundamentalists to  public office. Do you favor or oppose this
    proposal?

    97PI: Rate blacks on trust scale

    Now I have some more questions about different groups in our
    society.  Please turn to page 6 in the respondent booklet.
    There you will see a 7-point scale on which the characteristics
    of the people in a group can be rated.  In the first scale a
    score of 1 means that you think almost all of the people in
    that group tend to be trustworthy.  A score of 7 means that you
    think most people in the group are not trustworthy.  A
    score of 4 means that you think that most people in the group
    are not closer to one end or the other, and of course, you may
    choose any number in between.

    Where would you rate Blacks in general on this scale
    (trustworthy)?

    Note:  Variables V970188-V970193 were asked, as a group and
    without any randomization, after all questions about the second

    We hear a lot of talk these days about liberals and
    conservatives.  In your booklet is a seven-point scale on which
    the political views that people might hold are arranged from
    extremely liberal to extremely conservative.

    Where would you place yourself on this scale, or haven't you
    thought much about this?

    Note:  For N1, N1a, N2 and N3, interviewers implemented an
    'active timing' experiment to measure respondent response
    latency in answering these questions.  For each of these
    questions, the interviewer pressed a key when she or he
    finished reading the question and again pressed a key when
    the respondent began speaking to answer the question.
    After entering the respondent's answer, the interviewer
    responded to a checkpoint question on whether the timing
    was accurate or not.  Elapsed response times for each of
    these questions are found in V970360 to V970363 in the
    timing section at the end of the codebook.
