Codes that include 'no Pre/Post IW' were dropped for respondents without that interview. Dropped as not asked: 0 'No running incumbent (includes Washington D.C.)'. Dropped only in years where the codebook names a design split (alternate form, half sample, abbreviated or web instrument): 9 in 1984, 1992. Kept and flagged: 8 (dk), 9 (no_answer). Codebook notes: 1984 NOTE: If R is in a district where no incumbent was running or where the incumbent was unopposed (or opposed by a non-major party challenger) BUT the interview administered was a telephone IW, then VCF0991 has been coded 9, not 0. 2012-later NOTE: Approval of House incumbent was asked about the U.S. House Representative who was in office and representing the location of respondent household prior to the elections, regardless whether that Representative ran in the House elections held during the year of study or whether redistricting had taken place.
