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.); NJ01 (1990)'. Kept and flagged: 8 (dk), 9 (no_answer). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: If the U.S. House representative in R’s district was NOT running for re-election (i.e., was ‘retiring’), then this question does not apply (0 coded). If there was no running incumbent and no post IW, then 9 (no post) has been coded. 1990 NOTE: for New Jersey congressional district 01, the U.S. Representative was neither ‘retiring’ nor running at the time of the 1990 general elections. The Representative from NJ01 had campaigned for and been elected to another office in 1989, and the office of Representative was not (in effect) occupied until after the 1990 elections (code 0). 1978 NOTE: The 1978 version of this variable were not comparable. 1982 NOTE: same as 1978.
