        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 Republican Presidential Candidate> on this
        scale? (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)

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

        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        This variable referred to Nixon in 1972, Ford in 1976, Reagan in 1980,
        George Bush in 1988, Dole in 1996, and George W. Bush 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.
