ALL YEARS EXC. 1948,1992:  
Who do you think you will vote for in the election for President?

NOT 'NO':)  Do you plan to vote Republican, Democrat or something else?
1992 and 1996:

this point who they will vote for. Still, who do you think you will vote 
for in the election for President?

      1952-1976)

      1952-1976)

Inap. question not used

NOTES:
------
GENERAL NOTE:
This is a pre var.
For 1952-1976, codes 1 and 3 also include presidential candidate vote 
intentions "with qualifications."   Codes for candidate vote intention 
"with qualifications" did not appear after 1976.
In 1952-1976, if R's response to the question "As far as you know, do
you expect to vote in the elections this November?" was "yes, 
qualified" (think so/ guess so/ probably, etc.), R was asked this
question; if R's response was "no, qualified" (probably not,  etc.) 
R has been included in code 4; if R's response was "pro-con," then 
this has been coded 0.
After 1976, no codes appeared for "yes, qualified," "no, qualified,"
or "pro-con".
