        SUMMARY: NUMBER OF DISLIKES -- REPUBLICAN PARTY
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        Five possible mentions were coded in all original NES datasets.

        MD category 9 comprises cases of systematic question exclusion,
        i.e., when a question was not present within a form (1972,1990,1996)
        or within a wave (1952,1960), or if a question was omitted entirely
        that year (1954,1962,1966, 1970,1974).

        Rs who responded "no" to "Is there anything in particular that you
        dislike about the Republican party?" have been coded here as 0
        mentions; Rs coded DK or NA in response to the same question have
        also been coded here as 0 mentions.  In addition, Rs who responded
        "yes" to "Is there anything in particular that you dislike about the
        Republican party?" BUT who provided no mentions (DK or NA in first
        mention) have been coded 0 here.

        In 1996 and 2000, the order in which the set of likes/dislikes
        questions was administered for the 2 major parties was randomized
        ('likes' always preceding dislikes).

           0.  Zero negative mentions (dislikes)
           1.  One negative mention (dislikes)
           2.  Two negative mentions (dislikes)
           3.  Three negative mentions (dislikes)
           4.  Four negative mentions (dislikes)
           5.  Five negative mentions (dislikes)

           9.  No pre IW (1952,1960); form II (1972); form B (1986); form A
               (1990); questions not administered in assigned half-sample
               [see VCF012A] (1996); question not asked (1954,1962,1966, 1970,
               1974 only)
