        Recently there has been a lot of talk about women's rights.  Some     
        people feel that women should have an equal role with men in running  
        business, industry and government.  Others feel that women's place is 
        in the home.                                                          
                                                                              
        Where would you place <president> on this scale?  (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN
        TO R)

        The presidents referred to in each year were:                         
           1972: RICHARD NIXON                                                
           1976: GERALD FORD                                                  
           1978: JIMMY CARTER                                                 
           1980: JIMMY CARTER                                                 
           1982: RONALD REAGAN                                                
           1988: RONALD REAGAN                                                
           1996: BILL CLINTON                                                 
           1998: BILL CLINTON                                                 
                                                                              
        NO SELF-PLACEMENT INAPS:                                              
        In all years before 1996, if R replied DK or "haven't thought much    
        about it" in rating self on this same 7-point scale, then R was not   
        asked this question.                                                  
                                                                              
        In 1996, since the incumbent President was also the Democratic        
        Presidential candidate, administration for this var was affected by   
        the fact that randomization occurred for the order of the 3 major     
        Presidential candidate names for this placement.
