        (1970,1988,1990:  When you were growing up) Did she/ your mother      
        (1988,1992: or stepmother) think of himself mostly as a Democrat, as a
        Republican, or what?

        In 1956-1968,1972,1976, this question followed the question about     
        R's mother's interest in politics  (SEE VCF0309):                     
                                                                              
        "Do you remember when you were growing up whether your mother was very
        much interested in politics, somewhat interested, or didn't she pay   
        much attention to it?"                                                
                                                                              
        In 1972, if R's response to the preceding question was DK or NA, then 
        this question was not asked and VCF0306 has been coded 0.             
                                                                              
        Prior to 1972, code 2 was a volunteered code only.
