There exists pretty minimal public opinion data from that era
nationally, let alone at the state-level. I imagine you could combine
Berinsky et al.'s approach for reanalysis of quota sampling data from
the period with some kind small-area estimation technique (e.g.,
multilevel modelling with poststratification) to generate state-level
estimates, but I doubt there is anything already in existence. Digging
through the Roper Center iPoll databank is probably the best place to
start.
Best,

The Berry, Fording, et. al. measure of citizen ideology is available annually, by state, beginning in 1960 and the annual Enns/Koch measure of state public mood begins in 1956. I’m looking either for earlier time periods on one, or both, of the aforementioned measures or some other measure that is available annually, by state, beginning around 1940, or earlier. Any data or advice would be greatly appreciated.
