POLITICAL FIGURE TRAITS - GENERAL TEXT

I am going to read a list of words and phrases people may use to
describe political figures...
Think about [NAME].
The first phrase is [TRAIT]  In your opinion, does the phrase [TRAIT] 
describe [NAME] extremely well, quite well, not too well or not well at 
all?  (What about) [NEXT TRAIT]?

NOTES:
------
1984 NOTE:
Presidential trait vars appeared in both the pre and post; the pre is 
represented here.
1988 NOTE:
Form A respondents were asked in the Pre, and Form B respondents were 
asked in the Post.
1996 NOTE:
Traits were administered in random order; order of Presidential 
candidates (including the President) was also in random order.
1998 NOTE:
Order of traits was randomized.
2000 NOTE:
Respondents were randomly selected to be administered Clinton traits in 
either the pre or the post.  The order of traits was randomized.
2002 NOTE:
Respondents were randomly selected to be administered one of two sets 
of traits.  In the first set traits included VCF342 and VCF343; in the 
second set, VCF338, VCF344, and VCF345.  Each set of traits was 
randomly assigned to one of two possible orders.
