        I am going to read a list of words and phrases people may use to
        describe political figures... (1996: For each, tell me whether the
        word or phrase describes the candidate I name.)

        Think about <the Republican presidential candidate>.  The first phrase
        is "intelligent."
        In your opinion, does the phrase "intelligent" describe <the
        Republican presidential candidate> extremely well, quite well, not too
        well or not well at all?

        REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TRAIT - INTELLIGENT
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        For 1984, this is the pre version of this question.

        Republican Presidential candidate trait questions referred to Ronald
        Reagan in 1980 and 1984, to George Bush in 1988 and 1992, to Bob Dole
        in 1996, and to George W. Bush in 2000.

        In 1996 and 2000, Republican Presidential candidate traits were asked
        in random order. In addition, randomization occurred for the order in
        which the 3 major Presidential candidate names were administered for
        the set of traits and affects questions; note that for each candidate
        traits preceded affects and all traits and affects questions were
        administered for one candidate before questions concerning the next
        candidate were begun.

        1996 special note: this question was asked about the incumbent
        Democratic Presidential candidate but not about the challenger
        Republican Presidential candidate.

               1.  Extremely well
