Weights are per-wave; pooling across waves is approximate and over-represents frequent responders. These are standing dispositions, not verdicts on a current officeholder or economy, so pooling measures a stable orientation rather than averaging over a moving target. Cells below n = 50 are suppressed. Age differences in pooled interviews do not establish generational change.

Reading notes
Per-wave weights are pooled approximately and frequent responders are overrepresented. Suppress cells below n = 50; this is not a cohort analysis.
