• catalog abstract "This data collection is another in the long series of national election studies produced by the Political Behavior Program of the Survey Research Center (SRC) and the Center for Political Studies (CPS). The 1984 Election Study has two components. The first component is the Pre- and Post-Election Survey. In this component interviews were conducted in person prior to the 1984 election with 2257 respondents from 45 primary areas of the 1980 NORC/SRC sampling frame. For the post-election wave, half of the respondents were randomly assigned to be re-interviewed in person, and the other half to be re-interviewed by telephone using a shortened version of the questionnaire. In total, 1,990 respondents were included in the post-election survey. The focus of the survey was the 1984 Presidential election. Respondents were asked about their involvement and interest in the campaign, whether and how they voted, the nature and extent of contact with their United States Representative, and about their knowledge of issue positions held by candidates for Congress. A number of questions dealt with President Reagan's performance in office. In addition, the respondents were asked to evaluate both Reagan's and Mondale's personal qualities and their own feelings toward them. New items in the 1984 Pre- and Post-Election Survey, most of which were piloted in 1983, included economic individualism and egalitarian items and group identification items. Other variables include feeling thermometers, party identification, major national problems, attitudes on a number of social and political issues, and personal data on employment, income, religion, age, education, and marital status. The logical record length is 1,824 characters. The ICPSR version of the Pre- and Post-Election Survey includes field and sampling variables not currently included in the ANES Study Staff version, and also includes a series of occupation variables recoded to separate data on ''head of the family'' from data on ''spouse of R.'' A machine-readable OSIRIS codebook is available with the ICPSR release. The Pre- and Post-Election Survey has been revised since its original release in 1985. Data for the congressional district of interview and socioeconomic indicators have been added, and summary variables have been significantly recoded and reorganized. Also added were data from interviews with election officials. In addition to the standard pre- and post-presidential election survey, the National Election Studies carried out a Continuous Monitoring of the electorate in 1984. The monitoring began January 11 and ended December 7th. Each week, telephone interviews were conducted with 76 respondents (on average) selected by a random digit dialing procedure. A fresh cross-section of respondents was chosen each week. In total, 3,496 interviews were conducted. The Continuous Monitoring study was intended to capture the dynamics of an election campaign. The interview emphasized those elements important to electoral choice that were most likely to be affected by the campaign and by external events that intruded upon the campaign. More specifically, the interview asked for the respondent's evaluation of his own, his group's, and the nation's economic situations. There were thermometer ratings of the candidates for nomination, as well as trait assessments of and affective reactions to major candidates. Questions about candidate viability and likelihood of winning the election were also asked. In addition, respondents were asked to identify their position and what they believed to be the position of the major candidates on various issues. Demographic variables were also included. The survey instrument was intended to be very much the same from one sample week to the next. At the same time, the design allowed for the addition of new questions as campaign events made necessary, and for deletion of some questions no longer relevant as the campaign unfolded. Versions are defined by question additions or deletions. Thirteen versions are incorporated in the present release. The codebook clearly indicates for which version each question was asked. In addition, a Field Administration data file supplementing the Continuous Monitoring datasets is now available. A labeled coversheet was generated for each respondent selected for continuous monitoring. Each coversheet contains information about the administrative history of the contact with the respondent, e.g. number of calls made, household composition, final disposition. This file consists of field administration information for every coversheet generated during the course of the study, including non-interviews. The file contains zip codes for working, residential telephone numbers, where the selected respondent agreed to give that information. No Continuous Monitoring Survey respondent interview numbers are in this dataset, so the survey data file CANNOT be merged with the Field Administration file.".
