        1960-1976: Would you say that one of the parties (1972: either party) 
        is more conservative or more liberal than the other (1970-1976:  at   
        the national level)?                                                  
        (IF YES:)  Which party is more conservative?                          
        (IF NO 1960,1968:) Do you think that people generally consider the    
        Democrats or the Republicans more conservative or wouldn't you want to
        guess about that?                                                     
        (IF NO OR DK 1964,1970,1972,1976:) Do you think that people generally 
        consider the Democrats or the Republicans more conservative or        
        wouldn't you want to guess about that?

        After 1976, respondents answering no/DK to the initial question were

        In 1960,1964 and 1968, a single variable was coded, and "no" (or DK)  
        responses to the first question were combined with DK responses from  
        both versions of the second question.
