VAR 001785 Post-Rand.G3-G5. MD1: EQ 0, MD2: GE 9 COLUMNS: 3068 - 3068 Numeric Post-Rand.G3-G5. Post: Order of Gore, GW Bush, Buchanan in Liberal- Conservative placements G3-G5/G3.T-G5.T --------------------------------------------------------------------- These names were administered after Clinton (1st name). On 11/16/00 it was discovered that the survey instrument program had an error in setting randomization. Interviews --or, for some interviews administered over several days, portions of interviews --that were conducted prior to the correction of this error (in the 2nd VQ released on 11/16/00) were not administered with correctly functioning randomization. All cases administered prior to the correction of this error were administered as if only one choice in the randomization were available (in almost all cases, an identical choice). Item Post-Summary.24 (V000262) can be used to identify such cases; for these cases, their unrandomized order is represented here. 1. Gore 2nd, GW Bush 3rd, Buchanan 4th 2. Gore 2nd, Buchanan 3rd, GW Bush 4th 3. GW Bush 2nd, Gore 3rd, Buchanan 4th 4. GW Bush 2nd, Buchanan 3rd, Gore 4th 5. Buchanan 2nd , Gore 3rd, GW Bush 4th 6. Buchanan 2nd, GW Bush 3rd, Gore 4th 0.
