[NOTE: No ANES study was conducted in 1950; 1954 was a minor study although its data are included here.] To produce this dataset, cross-section cases from the time-series election studies have been pooled; the total unweighted cross-section N is 46,226. (NOTE: non-cross-section cases from black supplements in 1964, 1968 and 1970 are not included in this file.) A variable in the dataset almost always represents a question which has been asked in three or more (time-series) studies. This dataset incorporates for specific questions data from all time-series studies in which the question was asked in comparable fashion. When using variables from this dataset, the analyst should keep the following in mind: 1) Question wording has varied over the years. Where there are differences in question wording, we have tried to reference them in the documentation; completeness of this effort, however, cannot be guaranteed. 2) Even if a question is worded identically in successive surveys, its placement in the survey instrument may be different, with unknown (and possibly large) effect. 3) Variables have been recoded to be consistent over time. Questions are not necessarily coded the same way in this dataset as they are in the election study datasets from which they came. THE SAMPLE SIZES FOR ALL YEARS ARE AS FOLLOWS: Cross-section * Weighted** Unweighted 1948: -- N= : -- N= : -- N= : -- N= : N=1822 N= : N=1954 N= : -- N= : -- N= : -- N= : -- N=1557 type 0* 1970: -- N=1507 type 1* 1970: N=835 N=758 type 2* 1970: N=817 N= : -- N= : N=2523 N= : N= N= : -- N= : -- N= : -- N= : -- N= : -- N= : -- N= : -- N=1980 *** 1992: N=2488 N=2485

The Cumulative File excludes all non-eligible respondents from its cross-section. For descriptions of type 0, type 1, and type 2 variables in 1970, see weight vars VCF0009-VCF0011. ** note: the weighted cross-section Ns are represented in the Guide to Public Opinion and Electoral Behavior, which was produced using data from the Cumulative File. To reproduce the data appearing in the Sourcebook, it is necessary to use appropriate weights (see VCF0009-VCF0011). ***note: 20 cases have been deleted from the 1990 Study data due to belated discovery of interview fabrication and ineligible Rs. ****note: In 1992 and later studies there were multiple weights which can be used with the data; see Study documentation. *****Combined sample (face-to-face and internet)
