Presidential affect questions referred to Carter in 1980, to Reagan in
1982, 1984, 1986 and 1988, to Bush in 1992, and to Clinton in 1994,
1996, and 1998.
In 1984, presidential affect vars appeared in both the pre and post;
the pre versions are represented here.
In 1984, "don't know" was combined with NA (code 9). In 1980 and
1982, "don't know" was combined with "no" (code 2).
In 1988, Form A respondents were asked Reagan traits and affects in
the Pre-election wave, and Form B respondents were asked Reagan traits
and affects in the Post-election wave; in the Study variables, data
from both forms were combined into Post variables.
In 1996, Presidential affects were administered in random order.
In addition, since the incumbent President was also the Democratic
Presidential candidate, question administration was affected by the
fact that randomization occurred for the order in which the 3 major
Presidential candidate names were administered for the set of traits
and affects questions; note that for each candidate traits preceded
affects and all traits and affects questions were administered for one
candidate before questions concerning the next candidate were begun.
In 1998, Presidential affects were administered in random
order.
