D: RATING SCALES
Responses are collapsed into %positive and %negative categories. For example, for the first code [01], %excellent and %good are combined into % positive; the %fair and %poor are combined into % negative. In many poll reports, only the %positive is given in the source; in such cases, the %negative may be missing. It is not appropriate to consider all the non %positive as %negative as the non %positive includes those who didn't answer the question. If you want or need more detail on the individual response sets, you will have to go to the original poll results.
