ABOUT THESE QUESTIONNARIRES

When reviewing the questionnaire, please keep in mind that:

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” answers from respondents.
When the interviewer-administered interview was conducted by phone and video-conference 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, video-conference, and in person).

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

Thank you!

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.

Survey Question

Please turn to page ^postpg_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.

Now we have some questions about different groups in our society. We are going to show you a seven-point scale on which the characteristics of the people in a group can be rated. 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.
