ABOUT THIS QUESTIONNARIRE

When reviewing the questionnaire, please keep in mind that:

  • Some items in the questionnaire are labeled as being for the “face-to-face (FTF)” mode. However, in-person interviewing was not used in the 2020 study, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and references to “FTF” should be instead be interpreted as being the “interviewer-administered” mode (that is, by videoconference or telephone).

  • The questionnaire focus is on the interviewer-administered version of the questionnaire. However, questions were modified as necessary to accommodate other modes such as online interviewing. An example of such a modification would be removing references to participant/respondent booklets.

  • Except for the CASI (Computer-Assisted Self-Interview) section and some open-ended items, interviewers in the interviewer- administered mode could accept “don’t know” options from respondents.

  • Because the interviewer-administered instrument was conducted by phone and videoconference rather than in person, the CASI section was also administered directly by the interviewer with all questions read aloud and all answers also provided aloud directly from the respondent to the interviewer.

  • Unless the label for a question indicates otherwise, the question was asked in all survey modes (web, phone, and videoconference).

We hope you find this questionnaire to be useful. We would appreciate being notified of any errors by email to: .

Thank you!

PRETHERMPRE_THINTRO
INTRO PRE-ELECTION POLITICAL FIGURE THERMOMETERS
Survey Question Please look at page ^prepg_c 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.

Web Spec Add ‘Click Next to continue’.
Online, in this section, do not use the standard nonresponse prompt;
just move on to the next question.
Also, use the following question text:
‘Please look at the graphic below.

that you will have to guess.

In fact, for some of these questions, if you answer correctly, we
will know that you probably looked up the answer.

Please do not look up the answers you do not know. Instead, please
just make your best guess.

Will you please promise to try your best without looking up any
answers? Or do you not want to make that promise?

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.
