Codes that include 'no Pre/Post IW' were dropped for respondents without that interview. Kept and flagged: 0 (other_missing), 8 (dk). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: Prior to 1998, Rs who responded ‘DK,’ NA or ‘haven’t thought much about it’ for self- placement were not asked for party placements on this scale. 1998 NOTE: The order in which this rating was administered for the 2 major parties was randomized.
