NOTES:
------
GENERAL NOTE:
Four possible mentions were coded in all original study datasets except
1988 and later, which coded 5.
Rs who responded "no" to "Is there anything in particular that you
liked about the US House Republican candidate?" have been coded here
as 0 mentions.  "DK" responses to this question and "I don't know
anything about this candidate" responses have been maintained as MD
codes, unlike VCF0401-402 and VCF0405-406, because of the very high
numbers of respondents falling into these categories [for consistency,
NA responses to this question have also been retained as MD].  In
addition, if R responded "yes" to "Is there anything in particular
that you liked about the US House Republican candidate" but R provided
no mentions (DK or NA in first mention), then R has been coded in
the corresponding MD category in VCF0980.
In 1996 and later, randomization occurred for the order in which the
Democratic and Republican House candidate names were administered for
the set of 'likes/dislikes' questions.
1984 AND 1992 NOTE:
For 1984 and 1992:  if R was in a district where no Republican
candidate was running BUT the interview administered was an
abbreviated telephone interview (1984) or a short form interview
(1992), then VCF0980 has been coded 9, not 8.
1998 NOTE:  
1 case (0062) that was coded "yes" in the 1998 study data as response 
whether there was anything R liked about the Republican House candidate 
should have been coded "I don't know anything about this candidate" but 
has been correctly categorized in variables VCF0980 and VCF0981.
