       FTF:
       Please look at page 2 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.

       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. 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.
