We'd like to get your feelings toward some groups who are in the

news these days. Ratings between 50 degrees and 100 degrees mean

that you feel favorable and warm toward the group. Ratings between 0

degrees and 50 degrees mean that you don't feel favorable toward the

group and that you don't care too much for that group. You would

rate the group at the 50 degree mark if you don't feel particularly

warm or cold toward the group. If we come to a group who you don't

recognize, you don't need to rate that group. Click on the

thermometer to give a rating.

We'd like to get your feelings toward some groups who are in the

news these days. Ratings between 50 degrees and 100 degrees mean

that you feel favorable and warm toward the group. Ratings between 0

degrees and 50 degrees mean that you don't feel favorable toward the

group and that you don't care too much for that group. You would

rate the group at the 50 degree mark if you don't feel particularly

warm or cold toward the group. If we come to a group who you don't

recognize, you don't need to rate that group. Click on the

thermometer to give a rating.
