I'd like to get your feelings toward some people in the
news these days. I'll read the name of a person and I'll ask you to rate that
person on a thermometer that runs from 0 to 100 degrees. Rating above 50 means
that you feel favorable and warm toward the person. Rating below 50 means that
you feel unfavorable and cool toward the person. Rating right at the 50 degree
mark means you don't feel particularly warm or cold. You may use any number from
0 to 100 to tell me how favorable or unfavorable your feelings are. If we come
to a person whose name you don't recognize, just tell me and we'll move on to
the next one.
