        Some people feel the government in Washington should see to it that   
        every person has a job and a good standard of living. Others think the
        government should just let each person get ahead on his own.          
                                                                              
        Where would you place <the Republican U.S. House Candidate> on this   
        scale? (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)

        Responses referring to an independent or "other" candidate are not    
        recorded here for districts having only one major party candidate     
        (e.g. type race 23 in VCF0902).                                       
                                                                              
        NO SELF-PLACEMENT INAPS:                                              
        In all years before 1998, 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 1998, randomization occurred for the order of the 2 major party    
        House candidate names for this placement.
