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

        DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TRAIT - INTELLIGENT
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

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

        Democratic Presidential candidate trait questions referred to Jimmy
        Carter in 1980, to Walter Mondale in 1984, to Michael Dukakis in 1988,
        to Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, and to Al Gore in 2000.

        In 1996 and 2000, Democratic 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.

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