Q10 In thinking about the next president that we'll be electing, which of the following two statements comescloser to your point of view? (IF "BOTH," ASK:) I understand that you feel that they are both important, but ifyou had to choose the ONE statement that comes closer to your point of view, which would you choose?

Statement A:This is a time to have a president who will focus on progress and help move America forward.

Statement B: This is a time to have a president who will focus on protecting what has made America great.

Q11 Now, here are two statements that might describe how you feel. Please listen to both and then tell me whichONE 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 payingmy 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.
