Rosenstone, Warren E. Miller, and Donald R. Kinder. Santa Traugott is the Director of Studies for the National Election Studies and Giovanna Morchio the Study manager for NES. The 1994 Election Study is the twenty-third in a series of studies of American national elections produced by the Political Behavior Program of the Survey Research Center and the Center for Political Studies, and it is the ninth such study to be conducted under the auspices of National Science Foundation Grants (SOC77-08885, SES-8207580, SES-8341310, SES-8808361 and SBR-9317631) providing long-term support for the national election studies. Since 1978 the NES election studies have been designed by a National Board of Overseers, the members of which meet several times a year to plan content and administration of the major study components. Board members during the planning of one or more of these studies included Thomas Mann, The Brookings Institution (Chair until February 1994); David C. Leege, Notre Dame University (Chair from February 1994), Larry Bartels, Princeton University, Charles Franklin, the University of Wisconsin, Stanley Feldman, University of Kentucky; Mary Jackman, University of California at Davis, Gary C. Jacobson, University of California at San Diego; Stanley Kelley, Jr., Princeton University; Douglas Rivers, Stanford University; Gina Sapiro, the University of Wisconsin, John Zaller, the University of California at Los Angeles; Warren E. Miller, Arizona State University, ex officio; Donald R. Kinder, and Steven J. Rosenstone, University of Michigan, ex officio. As part of the planning process, a special planning committee is appointed, a pilot study conducted, and a stimulus letter sent to the scholarly community soliciting input on study plans. The 1994 Study Planning Committee was chaired by Franklin and included Rosenstone (ex-officio), Leege and Sapiro from the Board of Overseers. Other scholars included Bruce Cain University of California, Berkeley; Laura Stoker, University of California, Berkeley; and Peverill Squire, University of Iowa. David Leege chaired the 1992 Study Planning Committee which included from the Board Stanley Feldman, Mary Jackman, Douglas Rivers, Steven J. Rosenstone, Virginia Sapiro, and three other scholars: Paul Beck, Ohio State University; Jack Citrin, University of California at Berkeley; and Leonie Huddy, State University of New York at Stony Brook. John Zaller chaired the 1993 Pilot Study Planning Committee which included several Board members (Bartels, Leege, Jacobson and Rosenstone) and three other scholars: Jack Dennis, The University of Wisconsin; Charles Franklin, The University of Wisconsin; and Laura Stoker, University of California, Berkeley. While not officially a member of the Planning Committee, Douglas Strand, of University of California, Berkeley advised the Committee on many aspects of the proposed items on attitudes toward homosexuals and policy about homosexuals. >> 1994 ELECTION STUDY DESIGN AND CONTENT The 1994 Election Study was designed to be simultaneously the third wave in a three wave panel, which began in 1992, and also a stand-alone cross-section data collection in the traditional NES time-series. Thus, there are two components to the 1994 Post-election Study: one is a fresh cross-section component, comprising 1136 respondents who were interviewed for the first time in the weeks following the November 8, 1994 general election, and the other is a set of 759 respondents who were intially interviewed in the 1992 Pre-election Study. All of these respondents were interviewed in the 1992 Post-Election Study, and 635 of the panel respondents also gave us an interview in the 1993 Pilot Study. The full set of 1795 respondents may be treated, with appropriate weighting, as a fully representative national cross-section. The three-wave study was designed to exploit the special features of the 1992-1994 elections; a minority president struggling to forge a majority coalition in the face of a strong third-party challenge, and the replacement in 1992 of fully one-quarter of the House of Representatives. The design themes of the 1992-1994 Panel became particularly salient because of the electoral earthquake of the 1994 election, when the Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress first time since 1952. The datafile has been enhanced, for panel respondents, with data from the 1992 and 1993 studies. Data from these earlier studies may be thought of as 'lagged' measures, for use in analysis of 1994 panel respondents. For a full description of the 1992 and 1993 study designs and content, the user is referred to the Appendices to this documentation, which contain the complete original study descriptions as they appear in the documentation for these studies. Of the 1005 respondents who make up the 1992 NES post-election cross-section, (from which the 1992-93-94 Panel respondents were drawn) over a quarter resided in congressional districts that sent a new member to congress in 1992. Thus, the high turnover that occurred in the House in 1992 provides sufficient numbers of respondents to support detailed analysis of the processes by which newly- elected representatives shore up, or fail to shore up their support during their first term in office. The congressional battery that has been in place in NES studies since 1978 was the chief vehicle used in 1992, 1993 and 1994 to evaluate respondents' attitudes towards Congress and their congressional representatives. (For 1993, these questions were modified as necesssary to refer to "last November"s election and to the incumbent rather than to the congressional candidates). These questions include: * what respondents like and dislike about congressional candidates * whether and how they have been contacted by the candidates for summary evaluations ( feeling' thermometers) of the candidates, whether they can recall congresssional candidates (1993: running in this district this past November') * whether they have had contact with the incumbent candidate * where they place congressional candidates on several issue dimensions * for their evaluations of congressional performance * what the most important issue discussed in the congressional campaign in their district The core battery of congressional evaluations was supplemented by questions on term limits, (1992 and 1994) on the representative's vote on President Clinton's crime bill,(1994), or on the Persian Gulf war resolution (1992), on Clinton's deficit reduction package (1993), whether their Representative was implicated in the House banking scandal (1992) and on whether the respondent felt that his representative cared more about prestige and influence for him/herself rather than solving the problems of the congressional district(1994). Another major theme of the 1992-1993-1994 Panel is the assessment of how well the "Clinton coalition" is faring. The 1992 Study, since it occurred in a Presidential year, had a full set of items bearing on the evaluation of candidate Clinton, some of which were repeated in 1993 and 1994. These repeated items include: * Summary evaluations (feeling thermometer) of Clinton * Traits and affects for Clinton * Placement of Clinton on several issue dimensions (92 and 94 only) * Placement of Clinton on liberal-conservative dimension * approval ratings of several aspects of Clinton's performance in office (93 and 94 only) * For whom R voted (92); recall of Presidential vote (94) * Evaluation of the economy Each of the studies includes specific measures relating to evaluation of Clinton, including likes/dislikes in 1992, opinion about NAFTA and the federal budget deficit in 1993, who the respondent would vote for if the election were held today (1993). Emphasis on the panel aspects of the design should not obscure the fact that the 1994 data can be used to support cross-sectional analyses of the 1994 electorate. Note that almost all of the items listed below were also asked in the 1992 Election Study. * Campaign interest * Media exposure * Measures of partisanship (party likes/dislikes and party identification), which party would better handle certain public problems * Summary evaluations (feeling thermometers) on major political figures and social groups * Voting behavior * Views on issues: most important problem and several issue dimensions, including defense spending, assistance to blacks, spending and services trade-off, health insurance, women's role, and recent proposals to reform welfare. * Preferences on federal budget allocations * Electoral participation * Retrospective and prospective national and personal economic evaluations * Liberal-conservative self-placement * Political information held by respondent * Values, including moral traditionalism, egalitarianism, and attitudes toward race, as well as individual items on school prayer and abortion * Religious affiliation and behavior * Occupation, work force status, home ownership and residential mobility, nationality, education, income, and number of children being raised. The 1992 Election Study, in addition to the topics already mentioned, included questions on social altruism and social connectedness of the respondent; assessments of U.S. involvement in the Persian Gulf War and U.S. foreign policy goals; opinions of the respondent about racial and ethnic stereotypies, on school integration and affirmative action; attitudes towards immigrants (particularly Hispanics and Asians); opinions on immigration policy and bilingual eduation; and opinions on the rights of homosexuals; on sexual harassment and women's rights. In addition to the congressional and Clinton evaluations already mentioned, the 1993 Pilot Study included a number of items intended to tap the sources and strength of support for Ross Perot. As a pilot study, the 1993 Study included developmental work in a number of areas. One such area is the interest group basis of political attitudes. Questions were asked about the perceived interests of several groups (wealthy, poor, middle class, blacks, whites),as well as self and national interest in three domains: national health insurance, affirmative action, and school choice. The 1993 Study also includes a number of questions relating to attitudes toward homosexuals, and about policies affecting homosexuals. Finally, a number of experiments in the survey response were implemented in the study, including: * an experiment in wording of the vote choice for Representative question * reversing order of self versus political object placement on liberal-conservative 7-pt scale * certainty probe on liberal-conservative scale; self and other objects >> 1994 NOTES ON SURVEY ADMINISTRATION FOR 1992, 1993 AND 1994 STUDIES Field Periods Like the 1992 Pre-and Post-Election Study, the 1994 study design involved face-to face, paper and pencil interviews of respondents randomly selected from the SRC's national area probability sample. The 1994 field period was November 9, 1994 through January 9, 1995, with 40% of the 1795 interviews taken in the first week, and 68% of the interviews within three weeks of the November 8 General Election. This is a significant improvement over the performance of the 1992 Post Election Study, in which only 42.3% of the Post-Election interviews were taken at the end of three weeks. In the 1992 Pre-Election Study, 2485 citizens were interviewed in person in the 9 weeks prior to the November 3, 1992 election of whom 1126 were cross section respondents. To permit analysis of the impact of the unfolding election campaign, a random half of the sample was released to the field on September 1 and the other half on October 1. In the weeks following the election, 2255 pre-election respondents were reinterviewed; 1005 of them were cross-section. Sample Replicates To more closely tailor the field effort to the actual sample performance, NES samples are randomly divided into "replicates" of varying sizes. The usual practice is hold some replicates in reserve. In 1992, additional replicates for both panel and cross section were released midway through the Pre-Election field period; in 1994, all panel sample was released at the beginning of the field period. It did not prove necessary to release additional cross-section replicates. Response Rates for the 1994 Election Study 1994 Post Election N Resp.Rate X-Section 1036 72.1% Panel 759 77.0% Overall 1795 74.1% Notes on the 1993 Pilot Study The 1993 Pilot Study was a telephone reinterview of cross-section respondents to the NES 1992 Pre- and Post- election Study. Interviewing was carried out by the Telephone Facility of the Survey Research Center, the Institute for Social Research. The Field period was Sept. 23 - Nov. 24, 1993, roughly halfway between the 1992 and 1994 Election Studies. 750 interviews were taken, with a response rate of 74.6%. The study was CATI. The average interview length was 42 minutes. Because there were a number of experiments, each respondent was randomly assigned to one of four forms. Randomization of the Feeling Thermometers in the 1993 Pilot Study There are many survey questions, like the feeling thermometers, where lists of objects are presented for evaluation by respondents. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible to identify a single order for the items which eliminates response effects. An alternative is to randomize the order in which items on a list are presented to respondents. The AUTOQUEST CATI system has a randomizing function, and this was implemented for the feeling thermometers in the 1993 Pilot Study. No information as to the order in which the thermometer items were asked for a given respondent was preserved. >> 1994 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IDENTIFICATION AND CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES Congressional Ballot Cards, Candidate Lists, and Candidate Numbers In all NES Post-Election surveys since 1978, respondents have been asked several questions about their particular Congresspersons and Senators. These questions in the survey require the insertion by the interviewer, during pre-editing, of the names of candidates. See, for example, question B11, which includes feeling thermometers for the various candidates. Each candidate and Senator is assigned a unique number that reflects his or her incumbency status and party. (See Candidate Number Master Code). The Candidate Lists used by the interviewers, which show which candidates are associated with which congressional district and with which numbers they are tagged, are Notes 4 and 5 in the Master Codes section of this documentation. Congressional District Determination From 1978 through 1990, the congressional district in which an NES sample segment was located was determined by the SRC's sampling section. This was usually done by comparing very detailed maps of the sample segment and of congressional districts. Congressional district determination for the 1992 and 1994 studies presented complications due to the massive redistricting following the 1990 U.S. Census, and due to its panel nature -- movers had to be tracked and their new district determined. Handling of Congressional Incumbency Where Redistricting has Occurred (1992) Throughout the documentation for the 1992 study, whenever the word "incumbent" is used, its referent is a representative who was a member of the 102nd Congress; i.e., the Congress in session prior to the November 1992 General Election. Due to redistricting, any given incumbent's district for the 103rd Congress may consist of a fairly different geographical area from the area covered by the district prior to the boundary changes. Therefore, prior to 1992, the "incumbent"may or may not have been the representative for the particular piece of geography (the sample segment or census tract) in which the respondent lives. For each sample segment, we have included in the dataset its 1992 congressional district number, v3019, and its congressional district number in 1990, v3020. By comparing the two, it can be determined whether the "incumbent" in question was actually the respondent's incumbent prior to the 1992 general election. Congressional District Assignments For Movers Respondents to the 1992 Post-election Study were the recipients of several mailings, which we used to track address changes, and minimize panel attrition due to "lost" respondents. When the United States Post Office returned information indicating that respondents had changed their addresses, the study staff attempted to determine, usually by calling local election offices, in which congressional district the respondent now lived. The substantive decision, for 1993 and for 1994 panel waves, was to ask the R to evaluate the congressional candidates in the district in which h/she was now living, and about whom h/she was presumably receiving information. In some instances, information about where a respondent was now living was not available until the field period, when interviewers were able to track the respondents by talking to former neighbors, etc. In 1994, the interviewers were instructed to contact local electoral offices directly to determine if R's change of address involved also a change of congressional district. A candidate list for R's new district was then prepared, and used to pre-edit the respondent's questionnaire. A similar procedure was used in the 1993 Pilot Study. A Reliability Check of Congressional District Assignments Since one of the chief themes of the 1992-93-94 Panel Study is the evaluation over time of respondents' attitudes toward their congressional representatives, and because of the complications of following movers and of redistricting, NES staff made an intensive effort to assess the both the accuracy and the stability of congressional district assignments. Their findings will appear as Technical Report 52, "Accuracy and Stability of Congressional District Assignments in the 1992-93-94 National Election Studies." That report will be available by early June, 1995. For the 1994 Election Study, we decided to send the entire set of sample segment selections to an outside source for computerized matching of congressional district boundaries and the Census geocodes for the SRC sample segments. In this process, we completely checked the 1992 Congressional District assignments. Approximately 71, or 2.8% of the 1992 respondents (N = 2485) were assigned to the wrong congressional district, because of errors in the original determination of the district (misreading maps, incorrect information from local election offices, etc.) These misassignments were corrected for the 1994 field work, but not for the 1993 Pilot Study, where 4.5% of the 750 respondents were misassigned. In both the 1992 and 1994 Studies, all other causes of being asked about the wrong congressional candidates (e.g., wrongly pre-edited questionaires, inappropriate determination of congressional districts for movers) totaled less than one percent of the respondents. More important than these errors is the simple question of the stability of the congressional objects themselves. The candidates we ask the respondent to evaluate can change, because a) the respondent moves; b) his/her incumbent does not stand for re-election, or c) there is redistricting. respondent lives. 3% of the panel respondents were affected by 1993 and 1994 redistricting, so that they were not asked to evaluate the same candidates in 1992 and 1994. Incumbents did not run in the general election for 15% of the panel cases, so the congressional candidates they were asked to evaluate in 1994 were different than 1993 or 1992. About 8% of the panel respondents moved between their initial 1992 interview and the 1994 Election Study. Finally, it should be noted that about 3% of the 1994 respondents are registered in districts different than the one in which they were interviewed. Consequently, their vote choice was between a different set of candidates than those about whom they were asked. This dataset contains a number of variables, V940022-V940032, V940080, V937004, and V937007, which record the various contingencies discussed above. Users interested in more detail about these matters should request Technical Report 52 from NES Project Staff. >> 1994 FILE STRUCTURE The AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1994 PRE- AND POST-ELECTION SURVEY [ENHANCED WITH DATA FROM 1993 AND 1992] are available from ICPSR in logical record length (LRECL) format. The data are sorted in ascending order by respondent number, and contains variables for 1,795 respondents. A machine-readable codebook, which provides complete formatting and other information for all variables accompanies the data. In addition, a set of SAS and SPSS control statements has been prepared for this collection. The control statements contain formatting information as well as variable labels, value labels and missing data specifications for all variables in the collection. The data can also be accessed directly through software packages that do not use SAS or SPSS control statements by specifying the record locations of the desired variables. The record locations for all variables are provided in the codebook. >> 1994 NOTES ON CONFIDENTIAL VARIABLES, 1994 Starting with the 1986 Election Study, occupation code variables have been released in somewhat less detail than in years past. The dataset includes a two-digit code with 71 categories corresponding to Census Bureau occupational groupings. Those who have need of the full occupation code for their research should contact the NES project staff for information about the conditions under which access to these data may be provided. Similarly, the National Election Studies have not included information for census tracts or minor civil divisions since 1978. Permission to use the more detailed geographic information for scholarly research may be obtained from the Board of Overseers. More information about this is available from NES project staff. Coding of the new religious denomination variable is in some cases based on an alphabetic "other, please specify" variable This variable is restricted for reasons of confidentiality, but access may be provided to legitimate scholars under established NES procedures. >> 1994 OPEN-ENDED MATERIALS Traditionally, the Election Studies have contained several minutes of open-ended responses (for example, the congressional candidates likes and dislikes). Responses to these questions are Coded and appear on the datafile. Other Other scholars have developed alternative or supplemental coding schemes for the questions. The Board of Overseers wishes to encourage these efforts but in ways that respect the NES and SRC obligation to protect the privacy and anonymity of respondents. Circumstances under which individuals may have access to transcribed versions of these questions have been worked out and those interested should contact the NES project staff for further details. Special Note: the frequencies appearing in this codebook are weighted by V940006, TIME SERIES WEIGHT. >> 1994 CODEBOOK INFORMATION The following example from the 1948 NES study provides the standard format for codebook variable documentation. Note that NES studies which are not part of the Time-Series usually omit marginals and the descriptive content in lines 2-5 (except for variable name). Line 1 ============================== 2 VAR 480026 NAME-R NOT VT-WAS R REG TO VT 3 COLUMNS 61 - 61 4 NUMERIC 5 MD=0 OR GE 8 6 7 Q. 17.

INAP., R VOTED Line 2 - VARIABLE NAME. Note that in the codebook the variable name (usually a 'number') does not include the "V" prefix which is used in the release SAS and SPSS data definition files (.sas and .sps files) for all variables including those which do not have 'number' names. For example the variable "VERSION" in the codebook is "VVERSION" in the data definition files. Line 2 - "NAME". This is the variable label used in the SAS and SPSS data definition files (.sas and .sps files). Some codebooks exclude this. Line 3 - COLUMNS. Columns in the ASCII data file (.dat file). Line 4 - CHARACTER OR NUMERIC. If numeric and the variable is a decimal rather than integer variable, the numer of decimal places is also indicated (e.g. "NUMERIC DEC 4") Line 5 - Values which are assigned to missing by default in the Study's SAS and and SPSS data definition files (.sas and .sps files). Line 7 - Actual question text for survey variables or a description of non-survey variables (for example, congressional district). Survey items usually include the question number (for example "B1a.") from the Study questionnaire; beginning in 1996 non-survey items also have unique item numbers (for example "CSheet.1"). Line 9 - A dashed or dotted line usually separates question text from any other documentation which follows. Line 10- When present, annotation provided by Study staff is presented below the question text/description and preceding code values. Lines 11-16 Code values are listed with descriptive labels. Valid codes (those not having 'missing' status in line 5) are presented first, followed by the values described in line 5. For continuous variables, one line may appear providing the range of possible values. A blank line usually separates the 'valid' and 'missing' values. Lines 11-16 Marginals are usually provided for discrete variables. The counts may be unweighted or weighted; check the Study codebook introductory text to determine weight usage. >> 1994 ICPSR PROCESSING INFORMATION The data collection was processed according to standard ICPSR processing procedures. The data were checked for illegal or inconsistent code values which, when found, were corrected or recoded to missing data values. Consistency checks were performed. Statements bracketed in "<" and ">" signs in the body of the codebook were added by the processors for explanatory purposes. ICPSR has added frequencies to the codebook text for most variables in which the entire coding scheme is listed in the codebook, and a frequency addendum is provided for those variables with an extensive coding scheme. ERRATA IN DATA - 1992 Congressional Districts Late in 1994 it became apparent that in some cases of the 1992 NES Study an incorrect congressional district number had been assigned. These errors affect all questions related to House race which are administered according to assigned-CD candidate names.
