        In 3 presidential-year studies, 1948, 1952 and 1960, a post-          
        election interview was obtained but the pre-election interview was    
        not.                                                                  
                                                                              
        In non-presidential years, NES conducts a post-election interview     
        only, and all non-presidential years have been coded 0.*              
                                                                              
        Note that in 1956 ALL cases included in the final data were           
        interviewed in both the pre and the post.                             
                                                                              
        In 1948, 1 case code 9 NA was examined and identified as post-only;   
        this case has been coded 1.                                           
                                                                              
        The number of cases given below for code 1 in 1960 is weighted.
