QUESTION:

Opinion about Hillary Clinton on a 0-100 scale (0 = extreme dislike to 100 = extreme like)

ANSWER:

Interval

This is correct. This is a quantitative variable where it is not meaningful to talk about ratios between values. If for person X the gives a value of 10 and person Y give a value of 30, it is not meaningful to say that person Y likes Hillary Clinton 3 times as much as person X. Also note that when this variable takes the value 0, it does not represent “no opinion”; it represents an extremely negative opinion.
