3. Campaign donation allocation An organization has offered to donate money to one of the Presidential candidates for the 2012 general election on behalf of each respondent (no money will be given for a candidate’s primary race). Those candidates are Barack Obama, the Democrat, and the winner of the Republican Presidential nomination. Each respondent gets to control what happens to $100 dollars. You have a $100 share of the total amount of money, and you can choose to: a) Give $100 to either candidate. b) Take away $100 from either candidate. (The foundation will subtract $100 from that candidate’s total donations from other respondents.) c) Let your $100 go to whichever candidate receives the most money from other respondents. (In other words, your share would go to the default winner chosen by other survey respondents.) (A) Give My $100 to Democrat Barack Obama; (B) Give My $100 to the Republican Presidential Nominee; (C) Take Away $100 from Democrat Barack Obama; (D) Take Away $100 from the Republican Presidential Nominee; (E) Let My $100 Go to the Winner Chosen by Other Respondents (Exact wording varies across treatment groups)

6. Campaign donation allocation (Perry Group) An organization has offered to donate money to one of the Presidential candidates for the 2012 general election on behalf of each respondent (no money will be given for a candidate’s primary race). Those candidates are Barack Obama, the Democrat, and Rick Perry, the Republican. Each respondent gets to control what happens to $100 dollars. You have a $100 share of the total amount of money, and you can choose to: a) Give $100 to either candidate. b) Take away $100 from either candidate. (The foundation will subtract $100 from that candidate’s total donations from other respondents.) c) Let your $100 go to whichever candidate receives the most money from other respondents. (In other words, your share would go to the default winner chosen by other survey respondents.) (A) Give My $100 to Democrat Barack Obama; (B) Give My $100 to the Republican Rick Perry; (C) Take Away $100 from Democrat Barack Obama; (D) Take Away $100 from the Republican Rick Perry; (E) Let My $100 Go to the Winner Chosen by Other Respondents Age A B C D E Totals (Unweighted)
