Study #15398 -- page 10

Even though it is a long way off, I'd like to ask you some questions about the November 2016 elections.
Q8
Please tell me how interested you are in next years elections, using a scale from one to ten, on which a
"ten" means that you are very interested in next years elections and a "one" means that you are not at all
interested. You may choose any number from one to ten. (IF "NOT SURE," RECORD AS "DK.")
10, very interested .........

Q11
Now, here are two statements that might describe how you feel. Please listen to both and then tell me which
ONE best describes how you feel. (ROTATE :1 and :2)
I feel angry because our political system seems to only be working for the insiders with money and power,
like those on Wall Street or in Washington, rather than it working to help everyday people get ahead.
I feel anxious and uncertain because the economy still feels rocky and unpredictable so I worry about paying
my bills, day to day living costs, and whether I can count on my own situation being stable.
Or, if neither one is right for you, just say so.
