Post: Order of Democratic, Republican, and Reform parties in Liberal-Conservative Placements G8-G10/G8.T-G10.T --------------------------------------------------------------------- These names were administered after the names of Clinton, Gore, GW Bush, Buchanan, the Democratic House candidate, and the Republican House candidate. 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. Democratic Party 7th, Republican Party 8th, Reform Party 9th 2. Democratic Party 7th, Reform Party 8th, Republican Party 9th 3. Republican Party 7th, Democratic Party 8th, Reform Party 9th 4. Republican Party 7th, Reform Party 8th, Democratic Party 9th 5.
