        Now we would like to know something about the feelings you have toward
        <the president>.                                                      
                                                                              
        Has <the president> -- because of the kind of person he is, or because
        of something he has done -- ever made you feel angry?                 
                                                                              
        PRESIDENT AFFECT:  ANGRY

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.                        
                                                                              
        Presidential affect questions referred to Carter in 1980, to Reagan in
        1982, 1984, 1986 and 1988, to Bush in 1992, and to Clinton in 1994,   
        1996, and 1998.                                                       
                                                                              
        In 1984, presidential affect vars appeared in both the pre and post;  
        the pre versions are represented here.                                
                                                                              
        In 1984, "don't know" was combined with NA (code 9).  In 1980 and     
        1982, "don't know" was combined with "no" (code 2).                   
                                                                              
        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.                    
                                                                              
        In 1996, Presidential affects were administered in random order.      
        In addition, since the incumbent President was also the Democratic    
        Presidential candidate, question administration was affected by the   
        fact that randomization occurred for the order in which the 3 major   
        Presidential candidate names were administered for the set of traits  
        and affects questions; note that for each candidate traits preceded   
        affects and all traits and affects questions were administered for one
        candidate before questions concerning the next candidate were begun.  
                                                                              
        In 1998, Presidential affects were administered in random             
        order.

               8.  DK (exc. 1980-1984)                                        
               9.  NA (1984 only: DK)
