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

Data for this exercise come from the 2004 American National Election Study, collected by the Center for Political Studies at the University of Michigan. The 2004 ANES consists of a time series study conducted twice, once before and once after the 2004 U.S. presidential election. 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 asked of respondents during the survey cover a broad range of topics including attitudes toward candidates and parties, attitudes about different segments of the American public, attitudes on foreign policy matters, specific political behavior, and demographic characteristics.

Data from the 2004 ANES are representative of United States citizens from the 48 contiguous states, who were of voting age on or before the 2004 Election.

This exercise will use the following variables:

• Party Identification (V043116)
• Respondent Age (V043249A)
• Gender (V041109A)
• Race (V043299A)
