[NOTE: No ANES study was conducted in 1950; 1954 was a minor study although its data are included here.] To produce this dataset, cross-section cases from the time-series election studies have been pooled; the total unweighted cross-section N is 46,226. (NOTE: non-cross-section cases from black supplements in 1964, 1968 and 1970 are not included in this file.) A variable in the dataset almost always represents a question which has been asked in three or more (time-series) studies. This dataset incorporates for specific questions data from all time-series studies in which the question was asked in comparable fashion. When using variables from this dataset, the analyst should keep the following in mind: 1) Question wording has varied over the years. Where there are differences in question wording, we have tried to reference them in the documentation; completeness of this effort, however, cannot be guaranteed. 2) Even if a question is worded identically in successive surveys, its placement in the survey instrument may be different, with unknown (and possibly large) effect. 3) Variables have been recoded to be consistent over time. Questions are not necessarily coded the same way in this dataset as they are in the election study datasets from which they came. THE SAMPLE SIZES FOR ALL YEARS ARE AS FOLLOWS: Cross-section * Weighted** Unweighted 1948: -- N=662 1952: -- N=1899 1954: -- N=1139 1956: -- N=1762 1958: N=1822 N=1450 1960: N=1954 N=1181 1962: -- N=1297 1964: -- N=1571 1966: -- N=1291 1968: -- N=1557 type 0* 1970: -- N=1507 type 1* 1970: N=835 N=758 type 2* 1970: N=817 N=749 1972: -- N=2705 1974: N=2523 N=1575 1976: N=2869.5 N=2248 1978: -- N=2304 1980: -- N=1614 1982: -- N=1418 1984: -- N=2257 1986: -- N=2176 1988: -- N=2040 1990: -- N=1980 *** 1992: N=2488 N=2485 1994: **** N=1795 1996: **** N=1714 1998: N=1281 N=1281 2000: N=1807 N=1807 2002: N=1511 N=1511 2004: N=1212 N=1212 * note: the 1970 figures exclude 73 non-eligible Rs in the original dataset's cross-section N. The Cumulative File excludes all non-eligible respondents from its cross-section. For descriptions of type 0, type 1, and type 2 variables in 1970, see weight vars VCF0009-VCF0011. ** note: the weighted cross-section Ns are represented in the Guide to Public Opinion and Electoral Behavior, which was produced using data from the Cumulative File. To reproduce the data appearing in the Sourcebook, it is necessary to use appropriate weights (see VCF0009-VCF0011). ***note: 20 cases have been deleted from the 1990 Study data due to belated discovery of interview fabrication and ineligible Rs. ****note: In 1992 and later studies there were multiple weights which can be used with the data; see Study documentation. >> CUMULATIVE DATA FILE - VARIABLE DESCRIPTION LIST Variables are not sorted by variable number but organized topically into the following general groupings (by variable number within groupings:) - ADMINISTRATION/PROCESSING - DEMOGRAPHICS - GROUP THERMOMETERS - PARTISANSHIP; PARTY MEASURES - PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL EVALUATIONS - TRUST; MASS SUPPORT OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM (incl trust in people) - TURNOUT, VOTE, PARTICIPATION, MEDIA EXPOSURE - RESPONDENT IDEOLOGY AND ISSUE POSITIONS/VIEWS - CONGRESSIONAL LEVEL MEASURES (and Senate) - VOTE VALIDATION ADMINISTRATION/PROCESSING ------------------------- VERSION ANES Version Number VCF0004 Year of Study VCF0006 Study Respondent Number VCF0006a Unique Respondent Number VCF0009 Type 0 General Weight Variable VCF0009a Type 0 Weight - Post-Stratified Pre VCF0010 Type 1 General Weight Variable VCF0010a Type 1 Weight - Post-stratified Pre VCF0011 Type 2 General Weight Variable VCF0011a Type 2 Weight - Post-Stratified Pre VCF0012 Form Filter - Paper Questionnaire VCF0012a Pre CAI Question Selection VCF0012b Post CAI Question Selection VCF0013 Post Data Present VCF0014 Pre Data Present VCF0015a Abbreviated Interview - Pre VCF0015b Abbreviated Interview - Post VCF0016 Panel/Cross Case VCF0017 Mode of Interview VCF0018a Pre Language of Interview VCF0018b Post Language of Interview VCF0050a Pre - R Level of Political Info VCF0050b Post - R Level of Political Info VCF0070a Pre Interviewer Gender VCF0070b Post Interviewer Gender VCF0071a Pre Interviewer Race Full VCF0071b Post Interviewer Race Full VCF0071c Pre Interviewer Race 2-category VCF0071d Post Interviewer Race 2-category VCF0072a Pre Interviewer Ethnicity VCF0072b Post Interviewer Ethnicity VCF1015 Date of Pre-Election IW: Number of Days Before Election VCF1016 Date of Post-Election IW: Number of Days After Election VCF9122 Number of Politically Eligible Adults in Household VCF9123 Pre-Election IW: Number of Interviewer Calls VCF9124 Post-Election IW: Number of Interviewer Calls VCF9125 Post-Election IW: Was Persuasion Letter Sent VCF0019 R Relationship to Head 1952-1986 VCF0101 Respondent Age VCF0102 Respondent Age Group VCF0103 Respondent Cohort VCF0104 Respondent Gender VCF0105 Respondent Race 2-category VCF0106a Respondent Race 6-category VCF0106 Respondent Race 3-category VCF0107 R Hispanic Origin Type VCF0108 R Hispanic Origin VCF0109 R Ethnicity VCF0110 R Education 4-category VCF0111 Urbanism VCF0112 Census Region VCF0113 Political South/Nonsouth VCF0114 Family Income VCF0115 Respondent Occupation Group [1 of 2] VCF0116 R Work Status 7-category VCF0117 Head Work Status 7-category VCF0118 R Work Status 5-category VCF0119 Head Work Status 5-category VCF0120 Prestige Score: Respondent S.E.I.
