UNIVERSITY OF IOWA SCORE-VOTING STYLE POLLS 1998-2000 ===================================================== The University of Iowa conducted (by telephone) many large score-voting style polls during 1998-2000 in various mid-US states concerning political figures (prominent either nationally or important within that state at that time). Here are 28 such polls, each within a single state about a single politician (no politician repeated, and aiming for some variety in the states). 1. COLEMAN, NORM Question: Let's talk about your feelings toward some prominent people. I'll read the name of a person and ask you to rate that person on a thermometer that runs from 0 to 100 degrees. A rating of 50 degrees is neutral. Ratings between 51 and 100 degrees mean that you feel warm toward that person, and ratings between 0 and 49 mean that you feel cool toward that person. You may use any number from 0 to 100 to tell me how favorable or unfavorable your feelings are for each person.
