        I am going to read a list of words and phrases people may use to
        describe political figures...

        Think about Ronald Reagan.
        The first phrase is "intelligent."  In your opinion, does the phrase
        "intelligent" describe Reagan extremely well, quite well, not too well
        or not well at all?

        REAGAN TRAIT - INTELLIGENT
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        In 1984, Reagan trait vars appeared in both the pre and post:  the
        pre versions are represented VCF0326-VCF0333.

        In 1988, Form A respondents were asked Reagan traits and affects in
        the Pre-election wave, and Form B respondents were asked Reagan traits
        and affects in the Post-election wave; in the Study variables, data
        from both forms were combined into Post variables.

               1.  Extremely well
               2.  Quite well
               3.  Not too well
               4.  Not well at all

               8.  DK
               9.  NA
               0.  INAP, Form B (1986); no Post (1988, Form B only); question
                   not used

        1984:  323        1986:  550        1988:  1014
