Likes about Democratic presidential candidate, number of mentions · Asked in 14 waves, 1952–2004 · 24,558 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Codes that include 'no Pre/Post IW' were dropped for respondents without that interview. Dropped as not asked: 9 'form II (1972); abbrev. IW form (1980: see VCF0015a)'. Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: Five possible mentions were coded in all original ANES datasets. MD category 9 comprises cases of systematic question exclusion, i.e., when a question was not present within a form or wave. Rs who responded ‘no’ to ‘Is there anything in particular that you like about [Democratic Presidential candidate]?’ have been coded here as 0 mentions; Rs coded DK or NA in response have also been coded here as 0 mentions. In addition, Rs who responded ‘yes’ BUT who provided no mentions (DK or NA in first mention) have been coded 0. Democratic Presidential Candidates: Stevenson 1952, 1956; Kennedy 1960; Johnson 1964; Humphrey 1968; McGovern 1972; Carter 1976,1980; Mondale 1984; Dukakis 1988; Clinton 1992, 1996; Gore 2000; Kerry 2004. 1996 NOTE: The order in which the set of likes/dislikes questions was administered for the 2 major parties was randomized (‘likes’ always preceding dislikes). 2000 NOTE: see 1996 NOTE. 2004 NOTE: see 1996 NOTE.
