SUMMARY: NUMBER OF LIKES -- REPUBLICAN PARTY
-------------------------------------------------------------------
USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.
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
like about the Republican 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 like about the
Republican 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).
0. Zero positive mentions (likes)
1. One positive mention (likes)
2. Two positive mentions (likes)
3. Three positive mentions (likes)
4. Four positive mentions (likes)
5. Five positive mentions (likes)
9. No pre IW (1952,1960); form II (1972); form B (1986); form A
