Subject: 2012 NORC Presidential Election Study-Data now available for download
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that the public use file for the 2012 NORC Presidential Election Study is now available under the Downloads heading at: http://www.norc.org/Research/Projects/Pages/2012-norc-presidential-election-study.aspx.
The 2012 NORC Election Study was designed to measure public opinion about important issues the country faces - economic recovery, health care costs, and extreme partisanship. Conducted in the fourth year of a slow and unsteady economic recovery, this survey intends to determine, among other things, whether or not voters hold the incumbent responsible for the condition of the economy; if it matters that the recession began during a previous administration; and does the electorate account for whether the opposition cooperated with the president or confronted him?
The survey consists of two rounds of data collection. Part I of the 2012 NORC Presidential Election Survey was conducted in the weeks prior to the 2012 presidential election and was a nationally representative household survey with 2,136 adults. Part II was conducted in the weeks just after the 2012 presidential election with 1,125 respondents re-contacted from Part I. The survey was conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago in partnership with the following experts: Mark Hansen, Ph.D., University of Chicago; Andrea Campbell, Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Stephen Ansolabehere, Ph.D., Harvard University; and Benjamin Page, Ph.D., Northwestern University.
Additional information about the study, associated reports, and the Data User's Guide and Codebook are available again at: http://www.norc.org/Research/Projects/Pages/2012-norc-presidential-election-study.aspx.
