CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF INTERVIEW

USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.
Congressional district corresponds to the districting in effect during
the year of the interview, with the exception of California only for
1974; the redistricting occurring in California during 1974 was not
completed in time to be represented in the 1974 study. District
numbers associated with 1974 California respondents are the district
numbers which were in effect in 1973.
Note that in some years several cases of corrections have been made to
states and/or Congressional districts due to inconsistencies or errors
in the original datasets.
For 1992 'panel' cases, this var provides the 1992 congressional
district of R's original address (when sample selection was made in
1990) rather than that of the address at which R was residing in
1992. Additionally, even if R did not move since 1990, the
redistricting which took place in many areas in 1992 may have changed
1992 SPECIAL NOTE: Late in 1994, in conjuntion with field work for
the 1994 NES, it became apparent that in 50 cases of the 1992 NES
Study an incorrect CD number had been assigned. These errors affect
all questions related to House race which are administered according
to assigned-CD candidate names. In the introduction to this codebook
(p.iv) is a listing of 1992 (pre) case IDs with correct congressional
districts, however no data have been changed in this file as a
result. Users of CDF data can delete these cases from affected vars
if desired.
For 1994 and 1996 'panel' cases who moved since their original
interview (1994: first interviewed in 1992; 1994: first interviewed in
1994 or 1992), VCF0900 records the congressional district where R was
interviewed for the current Study. The candidate list information
also corresponds to the district where R was residing during the
current Study interview.
2000 Note: 3 cases were misidentified PA in the Preload but should
have been NJ. These cases are coded 00.
