       Please continue thinking about the November election.
       In some countries, people believe their elections are
       conducted fairly.  In other countries, people believe
       that their elections are conducted unfairly.  Thinking
       of the presidential election we've just had, do you
       believe it was very fair, somewhat fair, neither fair
       nor unfair, somewhat unfair, or very unfair?

       Please look at page 1 of the booklet.
       I'd like to get your feelings toward some of our
       political leaders and other people who are in the news
       these days. I'll read the name of a person and I'd like
       you to rate that person using something we call the
       feeling thermometer. Ratings between 50 degrees and 100
       degrees mean that you feel favorable and warm
       toward the person. Ratings between 0 degrees and 50
       degrees mean that you don't feel favorable toward
       the person and that you don't care too much for that
       person. You would rate the person at the 50 degree
       mark if you don't feel particularly warm or cold toward
       the person. If we come to a person whose name you
       don't recognize, you don't need to rate that person.
       Just tell me and we'll move on to the next one.

       these  days. I'll read the name of a person and I'd like
       you to rate that person using something we call the
       feeling thermometer. The feeling thermometer can rate
       people from 0 to 100 degrees. Ratings between 50 degrees
       and 100 degrees mean that you feel favorable and warm
       toward the person.  Ratings between 0 degrees and 50
       degrees mean that you don't feel favorable toward the
       person.  Rating  the person at the midpoint, the 50
       degree mark, means you don't feel particularly warm or
       cold toward the person. If we come to a person whose
       name you don't recognize, you don't need to rate that
       person. Just  tell me and we'll move on to the next
       one.
