2008 Time Series Study
Questionnaire Design
Links below lead to various articles written by the ANES 2008 Time Series Principal Investigators reflecting the factual and theoretical foundations upon which the PIs drew when soliciting proposals through the Online Commons, working with the Board of Overseers to review the many interesting proposals received, and making final decisions on how to filter the various recommendations into the final questionnaire.
It is the hope of the ANES 2008 Time Series Principal Investigators that the information available here will clarify important properties of the 2008 Time Series data, as well as provide a stronger foundation for future debate and scholarship on ANES and other election survey questionnaires.
