              MD EQ 0 OR GE 8                                                 

        I am going to read a list of words and phrases people may use to      
        describe political figures... (1996: For each, tell me whether the    
        word or phrase describes the candidate I name.)                       
                                                                              
        Think about <the Democratic presidential candidate>.  The first phrase
        is "intelligent."                                                     
        In your opinion, does the phrase "intelligent" describe <the          
        Democratic presidential candidate> extremely well, quite well, not too
        well or not well at all?                                              
                                                                              
        DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TRAIT - INTELLIGENT                 
        -------------------------------------------------------------------   
                                                                              
        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.                        
                                                                              
        For 1984, this is the pre version of this question.                   
                                                                              
        Democratic Presidential candidate trait questions referred to Jimmy   
        Carter in 1980, to Walter Mondale in 1984, to Michael Dukakis in 1988,
        and to Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996.                                 
                                                                              
        In 1996, Democratic Presidential candidate traits were asked in random
        order. In addition, 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.                                                 
                                                                              
               1.  Extremely well                                             
               2.  Quite well                                                 
               3.  Not too well                                               
               4.  Not well at all                                            
                                                                              
               8.  DK                                                         
               9.  NA

        1984:  339        1988:  284        1992:  3644                       
        1996:  960421
