WALTER MONDALE -- THERMOMETER
-------------------------------------------------------------------
USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.
SEE VCF0201 FOR QUESTION TEXT. (1978 and 1982 question wording same
as 1980, and 1984.)
In 1984, this variable was present in both the pre and post. The pre
version is represented here.
In 1974-1976, the respondent was not asked to give thermometer ratings
for individuals about which R "didn't know much" or "didn't know too
much." However, it is unclear whether such cases were coded DK or
NA: even within a single study year, "don't know much/too much" may
not have been coded consistently to one MD category.
