Do you think (1972: it) (1988,1996,2004: the Presidential race) will 
be close here in [R's state] or will [name given] win by quite a bit?
1980,1984,1988,1992 ONLY: (IF DK) Do you think the Presidential race
will be close here in [R's state] or will one candidate win by quite a
bit?

NOTES:
------
1952 NOTE:
The 1952 version of this question was not comparable.
1972 NOTE:
If R replied DK to 'Which candidate do you think will carry this 
state?' (VCF9028) then this question was not asked.
1976 NOTE:
same as 1972.
2004 NOTE:
A programming error early in the field period resulted in
52 respondents who replied DK to VCF9028 not being asked
VCF9029; these 52 cases are coded "99. NA" in 2004 data 
file and "9. NA" here.
