        Presidential affect questions referred to Carter in 1980, to Reagan in
        1982, 1984, 1986 and 1988, to George Bush in 1992, and to Clinton in
        1994, 1996, 1998 and 2000.

        In 1984, presidential affect vars appeared in both the pre and post;
        the pre versions are represented here.

        In 1984, "don't know" was combined with NA (code 9).  In 1980 and
        1982, "don't know" was combined with "no" (code 2).

        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.

        In 1996, Presidential affects were administered in random order.
        In addition, since the incumbent President was also the Democratic
        Presidential candidate, the order of question administration was
        affected by fact that 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.

        In 1998, Presidential affects were administered in random
        order.
        In 2000, respondents were randomly selected to be administered Clinton
        affects in either the pre or the post.  The order of Clinton affects
        in 2000 was randomized.
