   BOTH 7-POINT SCALE AND BRANCHING LIB-CON SERIES:

       7-POINT SCALE FTF: Where would you place yourself on
       this scale, or haven't you thought much about this?
       If you had to choose, would you consider yourself a
       liberal or a conservative?
       7-POINT SCALE PHONE: When it comes to politics, do you
       usually think of yourself as extremely liberal, liberal,
       slightly liberal; moderate or middle of the road,
       slightly conservative, conservative, extremely
       conservative, or haven't you thought much about this?
       If you had to choose, would you consider yourself a
       liberal or a conservative?
       BRANCHING (FTF AND PHONE):
       When it comes to politics, do you usually think of
       yourself as a liberal, a conservative, a moderate, or
       haven't you thought much about this?
       If you had to choose, would you consider yourself a
       liberal or a conservative?
       Would you call yourself a strong liberal or a not very
       strong liberal?
       Would you call yourself a strong conservative or a not
       very strong conservative?

       COMBINED 7-POINT LIB-CON SELF-PLACEMENT FROM 7PT SCALE /BRANCHING
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------

       Built from:
       - branching data in G6.E, G6a.E, G6b.E, G6c.E.
       - 7-pt scale data in G1ax, G1b.
       NOTE: To make 7pt scale data comparable with the construction
       of a 7-pt summary of branching data, both the 7pt-scale data in
       G1ax and the "had to choose" data in G1b were used for
       constructing this summary.  For both 7pt-scale and branching cases,
       Rs who answered moderate (4 in 7pt-scale) or DK or 'haven't thought
       much' (branching: or 'neither') were asked for the "had to choose"
       selection of liberal or conservative. Branching: If R selected
       liberal or conservative but strength followup was missing data
       (typically: DK) then 'not strong' has been coded in G6x1.

       1. SCALE: 1 / BRANCHING: strong liberal
       2. SCALE: 2 / BRANCHING: not strong liberal
