        Recently there has been a lot of talk about women's rights. Some
        people feel that women should have an equal role with men in running
        business, industry, and government. Others feel that women's place is
        in the home.

        Where would you place <the Democratic Presidential Candidate> on this
        scale? (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)

        WOMEN'S EQUAL ROLE-- DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE'S RATING ON 7-
        POINT SCALE
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        This variable referred to McGovern in 1972, Carter in 1976 and 1980,
        Dukakis in 1988, Clinton in 1996, and Gore in 2000.

        NO SELF-PLACEMENT INAPS:
        In all years before 1996, if R replied DK or "haven't thought much
        about it" rating self on this same 7-point scale, then R was not asked
        this question.

        In 1996 and later, randomization occurred for the order of the 3 major
        Presidential candidate names for this placement.

        In 2000, this question was administered as a 7-point scale to
        FTF respondents only; telephone respondents were administered a
        branching series instead.
