I’d like to ask you some questions about this year’s presidential election… Q8 Please tell me how interested you are in November's elections, using a scale from one to ten, on which a

"ten" means that you are very interested in November's elections and a "one" means that you are not at all interested. You may choose any number from one to ten. (RECORD NUMBER 1-10. IF "NOT SURE," RECORD AS "DK.")
