NOTES:
------
1980 NOTE: 
Abbreviated Pre interviews were administered as replacements for 
discovered 'fake' interviews.
1992 NOTE:  
In addition to 'long-form' or full personal mode questionnaires, short-
form telephone questionnaires were prepared in both the Pre and Post 
waves for out-of-range panel cases.  Please see the full 1992 ANES 
documentation for a complete description. Note that, contrary to 
intentions, use of the short-form questionnaire was not limited to 
telephone mode, nor was long-form use confined to personal mode. [In 
a few cases the shorter interview was administered to 'fresh' cross-
section respondents-- 4 cases Pre, 4 cases Post].
1996 NOTE:  
The Pre 'VQ file' or CAPI application was revised several times while 
in the field.  Beginning with the instrument with revision date 9/25/96,
some questions (most of the items related to 1996 candidate Ross Perot) 
were dropped from the Pre. 
2000 NOTE: 
In the Pre, Buchanan traits and affects were dropped beginning with 
the 09/28/00 VQ.
