        In 3 presidential-year studies, 1948, 1952 and 1960, there were cases
        where a post-election interview was obtained but the pre-election
        interviewe was not.

        In non-presidential years, NES conducts a post-election interview
        only, and all non-presidential years have been coded 0.*

        Note that in 1956 ALL cases included in the final data were
        interviewed in both the pre and the post.

        In 1948, 1 case code 9 NA in the original survey data was examined
        and identified as post-only; this case has been coded 1.

        The number of cases given below for code 1 in 1960 is weighted.
