Q.7 Thinking about the election next month for U.S. Congress and other state and local offices,
how likely are you to vote in that election? Please rate your likelihood in voting from one to ten,
with one meaning that you are not at all likely to vote, ten meaning that you are absolutely certain
to vote, and five meaning you have a 50/50 chance of voting. Of course, you can choose any

Q.8 Now, I'd like to rate your feelings toward some people and organizations, with one hundred
meaning a VERY WARM, FAVORABLE feeling; zero meaning a VERY COLD, UNFAVORABLE
feeling; and fifty meaning not particularly warm or cold. You can use any number from zero to one
hundred, the higher the number the more favorable your feelings are toward that person or
organization. If you have no opinion or never heard of that person or organization, please say so.
