Question Text:
1952,1956,1960,1964,1968,1972,1976: "..did you read (1972 ONLY: much) about the campaign in any newspaper?"
1974: (IF R READS A DAILY NEWSPAPER:) "Did you read anything about the campaign this year in any newspaper?"
1978-1986,1990: "Did you read about the campaign in any newspapers?"
1988,1992 and later: (IF R HAS READ A DAILY NEWSPAPER IN THE PAST WEEK:) "Did you read about the campaign in any newspaper?"
Note:
In some years, this was followed by a question asking how many articles R had read. Cases where R responded Yes but, when asked how many articles, volunteered 'None,' are coded No.
In 2012, wording was for 'campaign for President' and is not comparable.
