        I am going to read a list of words and phrases people may use to      
        describe political figures...                                         
                                                                              
        Think about Ronald Reagan.                                            
        The first phrase is "intelligent."  In your opinion, does the phrase  
        "intelligent" describe Reagan extremely well, quite well, not too well
        or not well at all?

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.                        
                                                                              
        In 1984, Reagan trait vars appeared in both the pre and post:  the    
        pre versions are represented VCF0326-VCF0333.                         
                                                                              
        In 1988, Form A respondents were asked Reagan traits and affects in   
        the Pre-election wave, and Form B respondents were asked Reagan traits
        and affects in the Post-election wave; in the Study variables, data   
        from both forms were combined into Post variables.

               3.  Not too well                                               
               4.  Not well at all
