Dataset

2004 American National Election Study: Pre- and Post-Election Survey

Data for this exercise come from the 2004 American National Election Study: Pre- and Post-Election Survey. The American National Election Studies (ANES) grew out of the Survey Research Center and the Center for Political Studies of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. These organizations, together, have been covering elections since 1952. ANES produces high quality data on voting, public opinion, and political participation to serve the research needs of social scientists, teachers, students, policy makers and journalists who want to better understand the theoretical and empirical foundations of national election outcomes.

Respondents in the 2004 ANES were interviewed before and after the November election. Questions cover a broad range of topics including demographic characteristics, attitudes toward candidates and parties, attitudes on different segments of the American public, attitudes on foreign policy matters, and political behavior. The ANES uses random sampling in order to produce representative data about the American electorate.
