ANES GUIDE

Before analyzing our data yourself, you may wish to look at the many pre-packaged tables and graphs in our Guide to Public Opinion and Electoral Behavior.

ANES QUESTIONS

Questions from all of the ANES time series studies have been organized into searchable files, by decade, in our lists of Questions Asked in ANES Surveys.

RESTRICTED DATA

Data and materials that have been identified as being of potential risk to respondent confidentiality are not publicly released. Access to Restricted Data can be requested only through our Restricted Data Access Application Process.

The above links are to a third-party website, the Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA) archives of the Computer-assisted Survey Methods Program (CSM) at the University of California, Berkeley. CSM developed the online analysis software and maintains the above datasets as part of their archives, at no cost to ANES or its user community. We are grateful to them for this service. Please be aware that the datasets may not be as recent as those that appear on the ANES website, and ANES is not responsible for the SDA utility, the SDA data archives, or their use.
