VCF0313 R Interest in Public Affairs

QUESTION:
---------
1964 AND LATER: 
Some people seem to follow (1964: think about) what's going on in 
government and public affairs most of the time, whether there's an 
election going on or not.  Others aren't that interested. Would you say 
you follow what's going on in government and public affairs most of the 
time, some of the time, only now and then, or hardly at all?
1960, 1962: 
We'd also like to know how much attention you pay to what's going on in 
politics generally. I mean from day to day, when there isn't any big 
election campaign going on, would you say you follow politics very 
closely, fairly closely, or not much at all?
