        Is there anything in particular that you don't like about the

        Five possible mentions were coded in all original NES datasets.       
                                                                              
        MD category 9 comprises cases of systematic question exclusion,       
        i.e., when a question was not present within a form (1972,1990,1996)  
        or within a wave (1952,1960), or if a question was omitted entirely   
        that year (1954,1962,1966, 1970,1974).                                
                                                                              
        Rs who responded "no" to "Is there anything in particular that you    
        dislike about the Democratic party?" have been coded here as 0        
        mentions; Rs coded DK or NA in response to the same question have     
        also been coded here as 0 mentions.  In addition, Rs who responded    
        "yes" to "Is there anything in particular that you dislike about the  
        Democratic party?" BUT who provided no mentions (DK or NA in first    
        mention) have been coded 0 here.                                      
                                                                              
        In 1996, the order in which the set of likes/dislikes questions was   
        administered for the 2 major parties was randomized ('likes' always   
        preceding dislikes).
