Codes that include 'no Pre/Post IW' were dropped for respondents without that interview. Dropped only in years where the codebook names a design split (alternate form, half sample, abbreviated or web instrument): 0 in 1972, 1984, 1992. Kept and flagged: 0 (other_missing). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: See VCF0724. 2008 NOTE: In 2008, wording was specifically for the ‘campaign for President’ and 2008 data are therefore not included. 2012 NOTE: Same as for 2008.
