CBS News and The New York Times were partners in a series
of election surveys covering the 1976 United States presidential
election campaign. The surveys were intended to provide another
dimension to the political reporting of the two organizations. The
surveys, using extensive coverage early in the primary campaign, were
designed to monitor the public's changing perception of the
candidates, the issues, and the candidates' positions vis-a-vis the
issues. Parts 1-9 contain separate nationwide surveys conducted by
telephone, with approximately 1,500 randomly selected adults. Five
surveys were conducted monthly from February through June, and four
more between early September and the general election -- one in
September and one following each presidential debate. A final survey
was conducted two days after the general election. Respondents were
asked for their preferred presidential candidate, their ratings of the
candidates' qualifications and positions, and their opinions on a
variety of political issues. Part 10, the Election Day Survey,
contains a national sample of voters who were interviewed at the
polls. Respondents were asked to fill out a questionnaire that asked
the name of the presidential candidate for whom they had just voted,
and other questions about their political preferences. Part 11
contains data for respondents who were first interviewed in Part 9,
Debate Three Survey, and recontacted and reinterviewed for the
Post-Election Survey. Data include respondents' voting history, their
evaluation of the nominees' positions on various political issues, and
their opinions on current political and social issues. Parts 12-26
contain surveys conducted in 12 states on the day of the primary at
the polling place, among a random sample of people who had just voted
in either the Democratic or Republican presidential primary
election. These surveys were conducted in the following primary
states: California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Wisconsin. There are separate files for the Democratic and Republican
primaries in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and California, making a total
of fifteen primary day "exit" surveys. Respondents were asked whom
they voted for and why, the issues that were important in making their
choice, and their voting history. Demographic information on
respondents in all surveys may include sex, race, age, religion,
education, occupation, and labor union affiliation. These files were
processed by the Roper Center under a cooperative arrangement with
ICPSR. Most of these data were collected by CBS News and The New York
