Summary

This study is part of the American National Election Study (ANES) Series, a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1948, and designed to gather information on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions, social and political values, as well as their perceptions and evaluations of political groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public policy, and participation in political life. The 2004 ANES auxiliary file of contextual data was created to provide a core of information for analysts interested in examining the 2004 general elections in a larger framework; thus, the dataset includes candidate biographical data, as well as information about past elections, expenditures, House and Senate member records and ratings, and district and state descriptions. The 436 records represent all of the United States Congressional Districts (and, for population description, the District of Columbia) and therefore may be used with both the ANES 2004 TIME SERIES STUDY [ICPSR 4245] and the ANES 2004 PANEL STUDY [ICPSR 4293].

2016-09-06 The SPSS, SAS, and Stata setup files, as well as the SPSS and Stata system files, and the SAS transport file were replaced. A tab-delimited data file and an R data file were added to the collection. The codebook was updated.

2006-04-17 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

  • Created variable labels and/or value labels.
  • Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
