polviewyliberal or conservative-version y
Text of this Question or Item 
67b. We hear a lot of talk these days about liberals and 
conservatives. I'm going to show you a seven-point scale on 
which the political views that people might hold are arranged 
from extremely liberal - point 1 - to extremely conservative - 
point 7. Where would you place yourself on this scale, or 
haven't you thought much about this?
