VCF0604 How Much Does R Trust the Federal Govt To Do What is Right

QUESTION:
---------
People have (1958,1964: I'd like to talk about some of the) different
ideas about the government in Washington.  These ideas don't refer to
Democrats or Republicans in particular, but just to government in
general.  We want to see how you feel about these ideas.  (1996 and
later: For example:)
How much of the time do you think you can trust the government in
Washington to do what is right -- just about always, most of the time
(not 1966: or) only some of the time (1996: or almost never)?
