For panel cases, this corresponds to 4-digit year of first year of time-series participation followed by 4-digit case id from first participation study . For example, 1958 ANES panel cases (first interviewed in the 1956 anes) are numbered 1956xxxx where xxxx corresponds to the case ID the respondent had been assigned previously in the 1956 study; VCF0006, by contrast, includes the respondent's 1958 ANES case ID. Studies including panel cases as part of the overall study cross-section are flagged in VCF00016. 1958 NOTE: In the 1958 anes time-series study, V580007 and V580008 flags whether 1958 respondents were previously interviewed in 1956. However, some respondents flagged in these variables had been interviewed in 1956 not as part of the 1956 anes study's cross-section sample, but as part of a sample component intended for a separate 'panel' (non-cross-section) file. Thus the actual count of cases from the 1958 study having 1956 unique IDs in VCF0006a (as 1956xxxx, where xxxx is the 1956 ANES cross-section case ID) does not correspond with the count of cases flagged in V580007 and V580008 for previous participation in 1956. 1960 NOTE: see 1958 NOTE; cases flagged in the 1960 ANES study for participation prior to 1960 may have participated outside of the time-series cross- section(s) in the year(s) of prior participation and may not correspond to the count of cases found here for initial time-series participation. =================================================================================================== VCF0009x Weight: For 1970 type 0 -

All telephone (pre-post studies: pre and post [no post-only telephone studies in Time Series]) 4. All internet (pre-post studies: internet pre and post or internet pre and no post; post-only studies: internet post) NOTES: ------ 1992 NOTE: A shorter questionnaire was designed for telephone interviewing only, where telephone administration was intended for selected Panel cases; all long-form questionnaires were designed to be administered in person. However, due to interviewer misunderstanding, 125 Pre interviews and 284 Post interviews -- including both Panel and new Cross-Section respondents --were administered over the telephone using long-form questionnaires.

NA; DK; RF; no Pre IW INAP. question not used NOTES: ------ GENERAL NOTE: Prior to 1964 this appeared as a coded staff summary (not as a survey question). Except for 1968, in Pre-Post studies this variable is pre-election. Beginning in 1964, age variables in ANES Study datasets were created by computing R's age from his/her given date of birth (beginning in 1988, when birthdate was not available, age as given for household listing by R/informant was used instead). The age calculation used in these Study datasets determined age at date of interview in 1966, 1968, 1970, 1972 and 1980-1994; it represented age on November 1 of the year of interview in 1976 and 1978. In 1974, age on election day of the year of interview was calculated. For 1964, no documentation is extant describing exact calculation made. Prior to 1964, instead of age calculated using R's birthdate, age as given by R/informant (this information may have come from the coversheet) is represented. 1948 NOTE: Age var was in the form of age groups and could not be included (see VCF0102). 1954 NOTE: same as 1948. 1960 NOTE: Personal data forms were completed for no-pre cases: data from these forms were incorporated into the (pre) age var listed. 1992 NOTE: Birthdate was not asked in short-form interviews: for panel 'short- form' cases, 2 years were added to the age that appeared in the 1990 study; for short-form 'fresh' cross-section cases, age was pulled from the coversheet. 2002 NOTE: For panel cases, 2 years were added to the age (if determined) that appeared in the 2000 study. 2008 NOTE: Age was calculated from year of birth. 2016 NOTE: Age was calculated from year of birth.

Study coding of income was approximated as closely as possible to fit within this version. Prior to 1972, this was an estimate of CURRENT year's income; since 1972, PREVIOUS year's income. NOTE that in all years beginning 1976 this question was not actually asked if R was the only household member age 14 or over: in such cases, data from the question asking R's own income was duplicated. (Prior to 1976 R's own income was not determined.) Beginning in 1964, R was shown a respondent card or booklet. 1948 NOTE: Question wording was undocumented. 1960 NOTE: Personal data forms were completed for no-pre cases: data from these forms were incorporated. 1996 NOTE: For 14 cases, interviewers entered responses where individual income was higher than family income. In some of these cases, the responses for family income and R income may have been provided.entered in incorrect order. 1998 NOTE: Some interviewers coded lowest income category when the respondent stated that he or she did not know what the household income was. Study staff has reviewed all interviewer comment material available to identify cases coded in the lowest category where comment NOTEs clearly indicate Don't Know; such cases have been recoded to DK. However, it is not known whether there are additional DK cases (without recorded comments) for which lowest category had been incorrectly coded. 2002 NOTE: Income categories were too broad for approximation here. 2012 NOTE: Income range was included in the public release. Percentile group represents full (combined) 2012 sample, including both in-person (FTF) and Web respondents. 2016 NOTE: Same as 2012.

No direct question asking R about his/her work status was used prior to 1968. Instead, R was asked what his/her occupation was, and codes for 'student,' 'retired,' 'housewife,' 'unemployed' etc. appeared within the occupation codes from which this variable has been recoded. For years prior to 1972, this is respondent self- identification (exceptions described in the appendix for cases where R described self as working student or homemaker). For years 1972 and later except 2002 fresh cross, this is occupation status after the respondent has first self-identified in one or more occupation categories and then has answered other employment questions related to work history, number of work hours etc.; for these years, it may be that coding here differs from R's initial self- identification(s).

The addition in 1972 of 'Is that Southern Baptist or something else?' significantly changed distributions of Protestant Baptists beginning in that year. Beginning in 1990 (except 2002), the full set of religion codes was expanded considerably, adding codes for different affiliations within the major mainline Protestant denominations and reworking almost entirely the Pentecostal, Holiness, fundamentalist, and evangelical Protestant denominations. VCF0152 gives the 'new' set of full codes. 2002 NOTE: 2000 data were included in the 2002 study religion summary variable by recoding from the 2000 study variable, which differed somewhat in coding from that used for 2002 fresh cross-section cases.

In 1956-1964, the named community was coded according to its approximate population at the time R was growing up. A community may thus have been coded for the study into a size category different from the size description chosen by R in his/her answer. 'City' categories by population during these years were (in general): under 10,000; 10,000-50,000; 100,000-250,000; 250,000+. For the codes here, the 250,000+ category was placed into 'large city', while lesser- population cities were included in code 3. In 1966-1976, R's own perception of size of community was used.

We would like to get your feelings towards some of these groups. I have here a card on which there is something that looks like a thermometer. We call it a 'feeling thermometer' because it measures your feelings towards groups. Here's how it works. If you don't know too much about a group or don't feel particularly warm or cold toward them, then you should place them in the middle, at the 50 degree mark. If you have a warm feeling toward a group or feel favorably toward it, you would give it a score somewhere between 50 degrees and 100 degrees, depending on how warm your feeling is toward the group. On the other hand, if you don't feel very favorably toward some of these groups--if there are some you don't care for too much--then you would place them somewhere between 0 degrees and 50 degrees. 1970-1974: (1970: As you know, there are many groups and persons in America that try to get the government or the American people to see things more their way. Please use the thermometer again--this time to indicate your feelings toward these groups or persons.) (1972,1974: We'd also like to get your feelings about some groups in American society, using the feeling thermometer just as we did for the [1972: candidates; 1974: leaders]. If we come to a group you don't know much about, just tell me and we'll move on to the next one.) 1976: We'd also like to get your feelings about some groups in American society. When I read the name of a group, we'd like you to rate it with what we call a feeling thermometer. Ratings between 50 degrees-100 degrees mean that you feel favorably and warm toward the group; ratings between 0 and 50 degrees mean that you don't feel favorably towards the group and that you don't care too much for that group. If you don't feel particularly warm or cold toward a group you would rate them at 50 degrees. If we come to a group you don't know much about, just tell me and we'll move on to the next one. 1978-1984: (1980-1984: And still using the thermometer, how would you rate the following.) 1986-LATER: ([And] still using the thermometer, how would you rate [the following]:) NOTES: ------ GENERAL NOTE FOR ALL GROUP THERMOMETERS: Card or respondent booklet shown to R exc. 2000 telephone and 2002 (telephone study). Code distinction between 'don't know' and non-recognition of name begin in 1978; data are combined in the DK category here. In all Pre-Post study years except 1968 and 1976, group thermometers followed (within the same wave, if not immediately) the series of thermometers for specific political figures, so that R was asked to recall the 'explanation' of the thermometer. In 1968 and 1976 only, group thermometers appeared in a separate wave. 1964 NOTE: 'Don't knows' were coded 50 on thermometers; groups about which the respondent 'didn't know much' were also placed at 50 degrees 1966 NOTE: same as 1964. 1968 NOTE: same as 1964. 1970 NOTE: The order in which group thermometers were asked varied by form. 1970-1976 NOTE: The respondent was not asked to give thermometer ratings for groups about which R 'didn't know much' or 'didn't know too much.' However, it is unclear whether such cases were coded DK or NA. 1996-LATER NOTE: Group thermometers were administered in random order. =================================================================================================== VCF0201 Thermometer - Democrats QUESTION: --------- Democrats -- feeling thermometer VALID CODES: ------------ 00-96.

WEIGHT: ------- VCF0009x/VCF0009y/VCF0009z =================================================================================================== QUESTION: --------- POLITICAL FIGURE THERMOMETER INTRO 1968-1974: (1968,1972: As you know, there were many people mentioned this past year as possible candidates for President [1972: or Vice-President] by the political parties.) (1970: Several political leaders have already been mentioned as possible candidates for President in 1972.) (1968-1972: We would like to get your feelings toward some of these people.) (1974: Now I'd like to get your feelings toward some of our political leaders and other people who are in the news these days.) I have here a card on which there is something that looks like a thermometer. We call it a "feeling thermometer" because it measures your feelings toward these people. (1968: You probably remember that we used something like this in our earlier interview with you.) Here's how it works. If you don't feel particularly warm or cold toward a person, then you should place him in the middle of the thermometer, at the 50 degree mark. If you have a warm feeling toward him or feel favorably toward him, you would give him a score somewhere between 50 degrees and 100 degrees. (1968-1970 only: depending on how warm your feeling is toward that person). On the other hand, if you don't feel very favorably toward a person--that is, if you don't care for him too much--then you would place him somewhere between 0 degrees and 50 degrees. Of course, if you don't know too much about a person, just tell me and we'll go on to the next name. 1976: As you know, many people were mentioned this year as possible candidates for president or vice-president by the political parties. We would like to get your feelings toward some of these people. I'll read the name of each person and I'd like you to rate that person with what we call a feeling thermometer. Ratings between 50 and 100 degrees mean that you feel favorably and warm toward the person, ratings between 0 and 50 degrees mean that you don't feel favorably towards the person and that you don't care too much for that person. If you don't feel particularly warm or cold toward a person you would rate them at 50 degrees. If we come to a person you don't know much about, just tell me and we'll move on to the next one. 1978-LATER: I'd like to get your feelings toward some of our political leaders and other people who are in the news these days (1990: have been in the news). I'll read the name of a person and I'd like you to rate that person using (1986-LATER: something we call) the feeling thermometer. Ratings between 50 and 100 (1986-LATER: degrees) mean that you feel favorably and warm toward the person; ratings between 0 and 50 degrees mean that you don't feel favorably toward the person and that you don't care too much for that person. (1986-LATER: You would rate the person at the 50 degree mark if you don't feel particularly warm or cold toward the person.) If we come to a person whose name you don't recognize, you don't need to rate that person. Just tell me and we'll move on to the next one. (1978-1984: If you do recognize the name, but you don't feel particularly warm or cold toward the person, then you would rate the person at the 50 degree mark.) NOTES: ------ GENERAL NOTE: For study years where the same thermometer appeared in both the Pre and Post, the Pre data are used. 1968 NOTE: "Don't know"s were coded 50 on thermometers; groups about which the respondent "didn't know much" were also placed at 50 degrees. The 50 degree mark was labeled "50 degrees; no feeling". 1970 NOTE: The order of names read varied by form. 1996 NOTE: The order of thermometers for all individuals except Presidential candidates was randomized. 1998 NOTE: The order of thermometers for all individuals except the President (first thermometer) was randomized. 2000 NOTE: same as 1998 2002 NOTE: Individual thermometers were administered in one of two possible orders, following President (first thermometer). 2004 NOTE: The order of thermometers for all individuals except the president (first thermometer) and Ronald Reagan, in retrospect (as the last/ 14th thermometer) was randomized. Overall randomization was devised as a set of consecutive subrandomizations; major presidental candidates thermometers other than then incumbent president were randomly administered as the 2nd-3rd names, follwed by other political figures as the 4th-11th randomized thermometers. Thermometers for the major parties were randomly administered in the 12th-13th positions. =================================================================================================== VCF0424 Thermometer - Democratic Presidential Candidate QUESTION: --------- Democratic Presidential candidate thermometer VALID CODES: ------------ 00-96.

Note that VCF0707 and VCF0736 differ slightly from VCF1011-VCF1013 for years prior to 1978: see VCF1011. 1952-1968: When an 'incorrect' name--i.e., not on the list of candidates which the interviewer had for R's congressional district-- was given with a party association, the party given was coded and is represented here. When a 'correct' name was given with an incorrect party, however, the actual party associated with the named candidate was coded in Study data: 'Smith, a Democrat' was coded as a Republican if, in fact Smith was a Republican. [In 1952-1968, party was asked for only if R did not know the candidate name or gave an 'incorrect' name. If R correctly named a candidate for his/her district without volunteering party association, party was not asked for, and factual party of candidate was coded.] In 1958 ONLY, if the respondent gave the correct name of a candidate from another race in R's district, then R was informed of the named candidate's actual race and the question for R's House vote was repeated. In 1952, 1956, 1958, 1960, and 1964 this question was coded as a multiple response allowing, when applicable, for candidate-at-large mentions (2nd response) as well as district choice of candidates (1st response). Second responses were excluded in coding VCF0707. 1970-1976: R's perception of candidate's party was coded. If not volunteered, party of candidate was always asked for. If party associated by R was not the actual party of a correctly named candidate, party as mentioned was still coded. Even if an 'incorrect' name (i.e., name not on the interviewer's list of candidate names--see VCF1006 for description of lists) was given, party associated by R was coded. Ballot card 1978-1982, 1984 personal, 1986 and later: when R gave a name not on the ballot card, the party of actual vote remained undeterminable (0 in VCF0707), unless R voted outside district of interview and R's major party vote from 'outside' district could be established (if a recognizable name was given). No ballot card 1980-later: Respondents who had voted outside the Congressional District of their sample selection location could not use the Ballot Card, and question wording was altered somewhat. 1980 was the first year that cases of 'outside' Congressional District voting were identified. 1984 NOTE: In Post telephone interviews, If the interviewer had the correct Ballot Card at hand, then he or she attempted to read the names and party affiliations of the House candidates [see question wording above]. 1992 NOTE: In telephone interviews, names were not read by the interviewer, but attempt was made, in many cases, to leave ballot cards with respondents if a telephone appointment was made. 1994 NOTE: A 'ballot card' experiment was conducted; see VCF0012. 1996 NOTE: same as 1992 2000 NOTE: For respondents registered in county of interview, the order of candidate names was randomized on the Ballot Card/as read by interviewers. 2002 NOTE: For respondents registered in county of interview, the order of candidate names was randomized as read by interviewers.

GENERAL NOTE: In 1974, 1988 and 1992, this question was preceded by a filter. The 1974 filter was: Do you read a daily newspaper? In 1988 and 1992 the filter was: How many days in the past week did you read a daily paper? Rs who replied 'no' [1974] or 'none' [1988] to the filter question were not asked this question. However, 1974 Rs who replied 'no' have been coded 1 while 1988 and 1992 Rs who replied 'none' have been coded 0. In most years, this question was accompanied by a follow-up question which asked how much/how often R read campaign articles, how many campaign articles R read, or how much attention R paid to campaign articles. If the respondent had read articles at all, regardless how little, then R has been coded 2. Several 1986, 1990, 1992, and 1996 respondents who replied 'yes' to the main question, but who replied in the followup question that they paid 'no attention' to articles, have still been coded 2. From the 1980 and 1984 studies, however, several respondents who answered 'yes' to the main question but who then volunteered in the followup that they read 'no' articles have been coded 1 rather than 2. The 1974 and 1978 follow-up questions have been disregarded. 1972 NOTE: Addition of 'much' to wording affected distributions significantly. 2008 NOTE: This question was administered to a random half sample of respondents using verion 'OLD'; the remaining respondents were administered an alternative version (version 'NEW') which was specific to the Presidential campaign only. 2012 NOTE: Wording in 2012 was not comparable ('campaign for President') WEIGHT: ------- VCF0009x/VCF0009y/VCF0009z SOURCE VARS: ------------ 1952: V520173 1956: V560196 1960: V600190 1964: V640279 1968: V680292 1972: V720456 1974: V742046,V742063 1976: V763645 1978: V780072 1980: V800760,V800761 1982: V820062 1984: V840727,V840728 1986: V860062 1988: V880130,V880134 1990: V900063 1992: V923204 1996: V960247 2000: V000336 2004: V043021 2008: V085008 =================================================================================================== VCF0728 Count of Media Exposure Types QUESTION: --------- Campaign media exposure count VALID CODES: ------------ 1.

Where would you place yourself on this scale, or haven't you thought much about this? (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R). (IF R RESPONDS 'DON'T KNOW' OR 'HAVEN'T THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT THIS' IN 1984 AND LATER; IF R RESPONDS 'MODERATE' IN 1988,1992,1996-LATER:) If you had to choose, would you consider yourself a liberal or a conservative?

Using the initial 7-point scale (VCF0803) and this follow-up, a final 3-category summary was also constructed in these years: the final 3- category summary is VCF0849. If R's response to the 7-point scale question (VCF0803) was NA then this follow-up question was not asked. 2000 NOTE: This variable represents 7-point scale data from interviews conducted using both modes; approximately half of the 2000 Study respondents (both modes) were randomly selected for administration of a branching series.

GENERAL NOTE: This is the final 3-cateogry summary for years 1984 and later, constructed using the initial 7-point scale question (VCF0803) and the follow-up 'choice' question (VCF0824), which was asked of respondents who had replied 'don't know' or 'haven't thought much' to the 7-point scale question and, except for years 1984, 1986, AND 1990, also asked of respondents who had answered 'moderate'. If R's response to the 7-point scale question was NA, then the follow- up question ('if you had to choose...') was not asked and VCF0849 has been coded 9. If DK/HTM in first question and the response to the follow-up was 'don't know,' VCF0849 has been coded 8. If R refused to choose in the follow-up, VCF0848 has been coded 7. Code 1 is comprised of 'extremely liberal,' 'liberal,' and 'slightly liberal' responses to the 7-point scale question (codes 1-3 in VCF0803) and of 'liberal' responses to the follow-up. Code 3 for 1984,1986,1990 is comprised of Rs who replied 'moderate' to the 7-point scale question (code 4 in VCF0803, with the follow-up not asked) and also of Rs who replied DK or 'haven't thought much' to the 7-point scale question and who then replied 'moderate' to the follow-up. For 1988, 1992, 1996 and later, code 3 is comprised of: 1) cases where R replied 'moderate' to the 7-point scale question and then refused to choose another category or replied DK/NA to the follow-up; and 2) Rs who replied DK or 'haven't thought much' to the 7-point scale question and then replied 'moderate' in the follow-up. Code 5 is comprised of 'extremely conservative,' conservative,' and 'slightly conservative' responses to the 7-point scale question (codes 5-7 in VCF0803) and of 'conservative' responses in the follow-up. 2000 NOTE: This variable represents 7-point scale follow-up data from interviews conducted using both modes; approximately half of the 2000 Study respondents (both modes) were randomly selected for administration of a branching series and are excluded here.

GENERAL NOTE: Because of changes in the full sets of codes which have been used over time, this variable is limited to preserving the major groupings which have been utilized with essential consistency through all years. The appendix NOTE gives exact study-by-study versions of the texts of individual codes which have been collapsed to form the VCF0875 group categories. In the 1960, 1966, and 1970 study datasets, one multiple- response variable was coded which included up to 3 mentions (1970: 4). In 1960 and 1970, variables were coded in order of importance in cases where R mentioned more than one problem. Within the study documentation for these two years, it was also stated that, in cases of more than one mentioned problem, if order of importance was 'not clear,' responses were then coded in order of mention. From the 1966 documentation, it is not apparent if multiple responses were coded in order of importance or if they were coded in order of mention. The first CODED response (variable) in studies 1960, 1966, and 1970 has been used here. In the 1964 and 1968 study datasets, one single-response variable was coded. This variable was described as including, in cases of more than one given response, the mention considered most important by R. Documentation in both years added that if order of importance was 'not clear,' responses were coded in order of mention: in such event, the single variable appearing in the study dataset represented the first mention. Note that, for cases where R mentioned two or three problems but missing data (DK or NA) appeared in the 'choice' variable (i.e., R did not choose a single most important problem), the first mention has not been included here, but MD has been coded. EXCEPTION: in 1986, in 142 cases the interviewer mistakenly did not ask R to rank problems by importance when R gave more than one mention. In these 142 cases, the first mention of R has been incorporated. In 1960, 1964 and 1966, the DK category was combined with 'no issues' and is included in code 00. 1996 NOTE: A half-sample of respondents were selected to be administered this question. 2000 NOTE: same as 1996. 2012 NOTE: Not yet coded for the 2012 Time Series.

District of Columbia 00. NA; wrong district identified INAP. question not used NOTES: ------ GENERAL NOTE: Congressional district corresponds to the districting in effect during the year of the interview, with the exception of California only for 1974: the redistricting occurring in California during 1974 was not completed in time to be represented in the 1974 study. District numbers associated with 1974 California respondents are the district numbers which were in effect in 1973. Note that in some years several cases of corrections have been made to states and/or Congressional districts due to inconsistencies or errors in the STUDY data. 1992 NOTE 1: For panel cases, this provides the congressional district of R's original address (1990) rather than that of the address at which R was residing in 1992. Additionally, even if R did not move since 1990, the redistricting which took place in many areas in 1992 may have changed R'S district number in 1992. 1992 NOTE 2: Late in 1994, it was discovered that in 50 cases an incorrect CD number had been assigned. These errors affect all questions related to House race which are administered according to assigned-CD candidate names. In the introduction to this codebook (p. iv) is a listing of 1992 (pre) case IDs with correct congressional districts, however no data have been changed in this file as a result. Users of CDF data can delete these cases from affected vars if desired. 1994 NOTE: For panel cases who moved since their original, VCF0900 records the congressional district where R was interviewed for the current Study. The candidate list information also corresponds to the district where R was residing during the current Study interview. 1996 NOTE: same as 1994. 2000 NOTE: 3 cases were misidentified PA in the Preload but should have been NJ. These cases are coded 00. 2002 NOTE: Preload district assignment was incorrect in 1 case.

Washington D.C.; California (1974 only, due to redistricting type of race could not be determined); wrong district identified; no post IW INAP. question not used NOTES: ------ GENERAL NOTE: This variable is available for 1970, 1974 and 1976 as well as 1978 and later. See warning NOTE below. In some years this variable is not available for no-post cases. ANES samples are not designed to be representative at the Congressional district level. Samples include cases from only some U.S. Congressional districts; for most congressional districts in which interviewing actually takes place, only a small number of interviews are taken. Codes 40,41,45 and 49 apply as a result of redistricting: for other Cumulative Data File variables referent to 'the incumbent' and 'the challenger' the incumbent who represented R's sampling location BEFORE redistricting has been considered R's 'incumbent' and the other candidate (incumbent previously not representing R's sample location) has been considered the 'challenger'; if two incumbents ran against each other due to redistricting but neither had previously represented R's location, neither candidate has been treated as an 'incumbent'. SEE 2012 NOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2012. 1970,1974,1976 WARNING NOTE: In 1970, 1974 and 1976, no type of race var was present in the original ANES datasets. Data for these years have been added to VCF0902 by implementing a case-by-case determination of type of race for every R's congressional district through consultation of reference materials. The resultant data in VCF0902 for these years have been checked somewhat, but perfect accuracy cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of attempting case-by-case coding. The type of race established in VCF0902 (and data in VCF0904-905 by derivation) for 1970, 1974 and 1976 should be used with caution and at the user's risk. 1978 NOTE: 1978 data in this variable do not exactly match the 1978 Study data: several congressional districts in 1978 were not accurately coded for for type of House race. MS03 was coded as 14 in the original 1978 data but should have been coded 12 (24 cases); NY19 was coded as 12 in the original 1978 data but should have been coded 14 (9 cases); NY38 was coded as 21 but should have been coded 24 (14 cases). In VCF0902 these cases have been corrected. However,Note that in other Cumulative Data File 900s-series congressional vars except for VCF0904, VCF0905 and VCF1004-1014, candidate-level data continue to accord with the original 1978 study designated type of race for MS03, NY19 and NY38. 1984 NOTE: 1 case in TX22 and 1 case in WA01 were mistakenly coded 65 in the Study dataset and have been corrected to 55 here. Also, 1 case in WI05 was mistakenly coded 13 and has been corrected to 14 here. 1 case in OH08 and 1 case in WI09 were mistakenly coded 12 and have been corrected to 21 here. Finally, 4 cases in CA38 were incorrectly coded (1 as 13, 3 as 21) and have been corrected to 12 here. These changes have been reflected in VCF1004 and VCF1005. 1992 NOTE 1: For panel cases, this provides the type of race for the 1992 congressional district of R's original address (1990) rather than the address to which R may have moved by the time of the 1992 interview(s). 1992 NOTE 2: Late in 1994, it was discovered that in 50 cases an incorrect CD number had been assigned. These errors affect all questions related to House race which were administered according to assigned-CD candidate names. In the introduction to this codebook is a listing of case IDs with correct districts, however no data have been changed in this file as a result. Users can delete these cases from affected vars if desired. 1994 NOTE: Codes represent type of race in district of interview location for the current Study year. 1996 NOTE 1: same as 1994. 1996 NOTE 2: 14 Pre interviews were conducted before the status of the congressional race in R's district assumed its final form. These cases are flagged in 1996 Study variable V960127, and the race type projected at the time the Pre interview was administered is documented in 1996 Study variable V960128. (In such cases Pre survey data are consistent with V960128.) 1998 NOTE: 2 districts had the incorrect type of race identified, and the 1998 instrument was administered according to the incorrect type of House race. Cumulative Data File variables utilize 1998 data which have not had corrections made: In 1998, cases in AL07 should have been type race 14 (instead of 24); cases in CA41 should have been type race 55 (instead of 12). 2000 NOTE: 3 cases were misidentified PA in the Preload but should have been NJ. These cases are coded 00. 2002 NOTE: Code 55 includes 2 cases from LA05 where a Democratic and 2 Republican candidates were running. 2004 NOTE: The extent of the Texas redistricting prior to the 2004 election produced House races with incumbents running in areas where he or she had provided little or no prior representation, thus no Texas candidate has been identified as a true incumbent (running or retiring) for the new Texas districts (House type race 44-49). 2012 NOTE: The extent of redistricting in 2012 prohibited singling out, at district level, one candidate who not only ran in 2012 to represent households within the boundaries of the new district which corresponded to R's household location and who was also, prior to the redistricting, the U.S. House representative for households within the boundaries of the previous district that corresponded to R's household location (prior to redistricting). Overlap of new and old district was often very small. Incumbents in VCF0902-VCF0905, VCF0908 can only identify whether or not a candidate running for Congress in 2012 was in office in Congress prior to the 2012 elections. Note that VCF1014 (House winner) is coded at district level according to type House race in VCF0902. Louisiana district 3 is coded for House race type 45; a Democratic challenging candidate also ran in the district. 2016 NOTE: Final candidates for the U.S. House election in district LA04 were not determined prior to post-election interviewing. LA04 cases are coded 99. For some 2016 cases, names of candidates were not preloaded either because date of interview preceded date when final candidates were determined or else due to preload issue. For the latter instances, any CDF questions related to candidates are NA.

Code 2 includes opposition from a non-major party candidate if his/her name was on the candidate list. Note that for districts where 2 incumbents were running due to redistricting, neither of whom had previously represented R's location, this variable has been coded 0. 1978 NOTE: Several changes to data for type of House race from 1978 have been made since previous release of the Cumulative Data File (see NOTEs VCF0902). As a result, VCF0904 and VCF0905 have been changed accordingly. 1984 NOTE: Corrections to original type of race data (SEE VCF0902) are not reflected in VCF0903-905. 2004 NOTE: The extent of the Texas redistricting prior to the 2004 election produced House races with incumbents running in areas where he or she had provided little or no prior representation, thus no Texas candidate has been identified as a true incumbent (running or retiring) for the new Texas districts (House type race 44-49). 2012 NOTE: See VCF0902 NOTEs.

Prior to 1978, however, recall vars in ANES datasets were coded quite differently, and translating pre-1978 recall data into VCF1006-1008 data involves lengthy case-by-case consultation to reference sources for type of race in R's congressional district. Among pre-1978 studies, recall data have been incorporated for 1970 and 1974 only. NO attempt has been made to include recall data from ANES studies prior to 1970. 1970 AND 1974 NOTE: every House candidate was assigned a unique candidate number. Correct names of candidates given by R in response to the recall question were coded within 1970 Study data by that individual candidate number. Indications are that, if the name mentioned by the respondent was not on a complete list of candidates and candidate numbers which existed for R's STATE, then the response was simply coded as 'incorrect.' However, it is not apparent that any attempt was made to ascertain whether a name 'correctly' given was actually a correct name from the congressional race in R's own district: if R correctly named a candidate from another-- or wrong-- district within the state, the response was still included among 'correct' responses. For VCF1006- VCF1008, individual candidate numbers within the original 1970 recall var have been examined on a case-by-case basis to determine if the candidate number given by R corresponded to a name from the race in R's own congressional district. If so, the response has been included as a recall. If not, the response has been coded as no recall (99 MD). This same procedure was followed for including 1974 data, although the 1974 study's method for handling individual candidate codes of names outside R's district of residence was not specifically described in any 1974 study documentation. Additional NOTE for 1970 and 1974: to create the specific candidate-type codes which appear in CDF VCF1006- VCF1008, each correctly recalled name (once determined appropriate to R's congressional district) was checked individually according to type of race to determine the named candidate's exact status (e.g., Republican incumbent, etc.). WARNING NOTE: The procedures used in the creation of VCF1006-1008 for 1970 and 1974 produced data that have been checked somewhat, but perfect accuracy cannot be completely guaranteed due to the nature of attempting case-by- case correction. Data in VCF1006-1008 for 1970 and 1974 should be used with caution and at the user's risk.

If the name mentioned by the respondent was not on the complete list of candidates and candidate numbers, then the response was simply coded as 'incorrect.' The respondent was then asked for the party of the candidate which s/he named. VCF1011-1013 WERE BUILT FOR 1970-1976 USING THE SECOND, OR 'PARTY OF VOTE,' VARIABLE (even in cases where the party given by R was not appropriate for a correctly rendered candidate name). [ NOTE: if name given in 1970-1976 was 'incorrect' or DK/NA, 'party of vote' variable was still used unless missing data: if 'party of vote' was missing data and name was 'incorrect' or DK/NA, vote in VCF1011-1013 has been coded 9.] Note that VCF0707, VCF0736 vote vars were also created from this 'party of vote' variable for 1970-1976, but the vote data present in VCF1011-1013 differ slightly from that in VCF0707 and VCF0736 in 1970-1976 for the following cases: if R correctly gave the name of a candidate who was on the complete list of candidates and candidate numbers BUT did not provide any party designation (DK or NA) in the followup 'party of vote' var, then the party of the candidate correctly named in the first recall (name) var was ascertained and incorporated into VCF1011-1013. This procedure was not undertaken for 1970-1976 in vars VCF0707 and VCF0736, which retain these cases as missing data. Note that, because no ballot card was used, for 1968-1976 the party for which R claimed to have voted in the House election is represented in VCF1011-1013 even for so-called 'impossible' cases: e.g., when R declares R voted for a Democrat when R lives in a Congressional district in which only a Republican incumbent ran in the House election: in such a case, VCF1011-1013 are coded as if R did indeed vote for a Democrat. 1968 NOTE: R's response to the House vote question was coded into a single summary variable which provided categories to establish whether R provided a correct or incorrect Democratic House candidate name, a correct or incorrect Republican House candidate name, a party mention only, or a minor party/write-in/unidentifiable candidate name. This 1968 variable was accompanied by the following NOTE: 'When R's mention of candidate name and party were inconsistent, the response was coded as if party were the dominant element. Example: R mentioned 'Burke, a Democrat' but Burke was a Republican. Response was coded 'incorrect Republican candidate.'' For VCF1011-1013, party of R's 1968 House vote was taken from this variable.

GENERAL NOTE: Beginning in 1990 Study data, third party and independent candidates were combined with unknown names coded in 'name not on candidate list' (code 97) whenever the non-major party candidate was not on the Candidate List; only independent or 3rd party candidates who were on the Candidate List were given a separate code (code 30). In 1970-1988, independent or 3rd party candidates could be coded distinct from 'name not on candidate list' even if their name was NOT on the Candidate List. For 1970-1988, if R voted for a third party or independent candidate who was not the incumbent, then VCF1012 has been coded 2 even if the candidate's name was not on the Candidate List. WARNING NOTE: In years prior to 1978, no 'type of race' var was present in Study data. Data were added, however, to 'type of race' VCF0902 for 1970, 1974 and 1976 using a lengthy case-by-case procedure. Although the resultant 'type of race' data have been checked to some extent, the possibility of some error must be recognized: the 'type of race' established for 1970, 1974 and 1976-- and, as a further result, data in VCF1012 for 1970, 1974 and 1976-- should be used with caution and at the user's risk. 1974 NOTE: California data for VCF1012 is not recoverable because 'type of race' in California districts for the 1974 election can not be determined. 1992 NOTE: 1 case [2063] which was erroneously coded to candidate code 34 for House vote but which should have been code 32 is coded 9 here.

In 1968-1978, if number of years given included a fraction of 6 or more months, then the number of years coded was rounded up to the next highest whole number. In 1980-1986, this practice was restricted to instances where the total number of years (and months) given was less than 2 years; if the number of years given was greater than 2, then any fraction was dropped. In 1988-1990, all fractions of years were dropped with the exception of months less than a year (coded as 1 year, code 0), and 13-23 months (code 1). In 1994 and later, all fractions of years were dropped with the exception of months less than a year (coded 0); the code '13-23 months; 2 years' has been recoded to 2. Beginning in 2012, exact number of years was not in the public release. 1974 NOTE: Code 'all of life' was not used. 2002 NOTE: This question was asked only of Fresh Cross respondents. 2004 NOTE: Code 76 includes, '76 years or more.'

No gubernatorial race in state (includes Washington D.C.) INAP. question not used NOTES: ------ See Appendix NOTE 'STATES AND PARTIES OF ELECTIONS/CANDIDATES'. GENERAL NOTE: Ballot card was not used until 1978. In 1978-1982, 1986 R selected name from ballot card. When R gave a name not on the candidate list, MD was coded, and party of vote was undetermined. In 1952, 1958, 1964-1968 (no ballot card), when an incorrect name-- i.e., not on the candidate list--was given with a party association, the party given was coded. When a correct name was given with an incorrect party, then the actual party associated with the named candidate was coded: 'Smith, a Democrat' was coded as a Republican if, in fact (contrary to R's perception) Smith was indeed a Republican. In 1970-1976 (no ballot card), R's perception of candidate's party was given. If an incorrect name (not on the candidate list) was given, party associated was still coded. If a given party was not the actual party of a correctly named candidate, party as given was still coded. In 1952, 1958, 1960 and 1964, this question was coded as a multiple response variable allowing, when applicable, for candidate-at-large mentions (2nd response) as well as district choice of candidates (1st response). Second responses were excluded in coding VCF9025. If R did not vote AND R's state did not have a gubernatorial race, then 0 (not 9) has been coded. In 1980, 1982, 1986, 1990: if there was no race in state of IW BUT it was determined that R voted outside of state of IW AND R designated his/her vote for governor in the other state, then this variable has been coded for the party of R's 'outside' vote, not coded 0 MD (no race in state). Before 1980, it was not determined whether R voted outside of state of IW, and no information was previously available for any votes for governor outside of state of IW. 2016 NOTE: In 2016, state of vote was determined for voters who voted outside state of residence; this variable represents vote in state of vote.

In 1952-1960,1964-1972,1976,1980, if R answered the filter, 'In the elections for president since you have been old enough to vote, would you say that you have voted in all of them, most of them, some of them, or none of them?' with 'none of them' or answered that s/he was never before able to vote because s/he was previously not a citizen or old enough, then this question was not asked. In 1956, 1960, 1976 and 1980, if it was NA whether R had ever voted, then this question was not asked. In 1968, if R DK whether R had ever voted, then this question was not asked. In 1962, 1982, 1988, 1990 and 1992 no filter was used, but Rs who did not vote in the previous presidential election because of age or citizenship ineligibility (or for any other reason) were simply coded 'did not vote'.

Records not checked (1984,1986 only) INAP. question not used NOTES: ------ GENERAL NOTE: Vars VCF9149-9155 are variables related to special Vote Validation studies which have been conducted for some years of the ANES time series. Vote validation studies were conducted in 1964, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1988, and 1990. Information available in the Study data across these years varies in completeness and coding; for some of these years the Study data do not provide information (or sufficient information) to code some variables VCF9149-9155. This is the jurisdiction, county or municipality in which registration and voting records are located for persons living in the particular sample segment in which R was living when interviewed. In 1988 and 1990 only, if records were not checked for R, the vote validation office number which would have been assigned to R if his/her records had been checked was coded. In 1984 and 1990 only, if R reported that s/he was registered outside of the sample area, telephone contact with the outside election office was made to attempt to elicit registration and vote information about R. In 1986 and 1988, no such attempt was made, and Rs who self- reported their registration outside the sample area were not included in vote validation checks for those years. Note that in 1986 1 case coded 87 and 2 cases coded 152 in the original office number variable (VCF0772) should have been MD (records not checked/ registered out of area); they are corrected here (000).

GENERAL NOTE: Code 1: For 1984 and 1990, code 1 includes telephone attempts at validation of cases registered outside of sample area (998 in VCF9149). Similar attempts were not made in other years. For 1980, code 1 includes 31 cases (code 9 in original var 1207) where respondent was discovered to be registered at a different address: NOTE, however, that for these cases no effort was subsequently made to Code 2: Applies to 1984-1990 only. In 1984-1990, vote validation was intended for Rs who: 1) reported that they voted; or 2) reported that they didn't vote but were registered; or 3) had no post IW. That is, in years 1984-1990, POST RS WHO DID NOT REPORT THAT THEY WERE REGISTERED WERE NOT VALIDATED. Codes 3-7: All years: complications in the ability to carry out registration records-checks prevented the validation of registration status for some Rs for whom validation was originally intended. Validation was intended in 1984-90 for all Rs except nonvoters who didn't report being registered. Prior to 1984, vote validation was intended for all ANES respondents [exception: alidation was not intended for 1964 no-posts (code 5). Validation was not intended for 1976 no-posts, however ANES was able to carry out validation for some 1976 no-posts.] Code 4: although registration status was not checked (assumed unnecessary), voting records WERE checked (for 1980, 1 in VCF9153). 1986 NOTE: 4 cases for which validation was not attempted (due to insufficient address, no name, or registered out of area) were mistakenly coded 'attempted.' They are corrected in VCF9152 (code 3) and in VCF9154- 9155 (code 0). 1976 NOTE: Only 1976 time-series respondents who also participated in the 1972- 1974-1976 panel study (ICPSR 7607) were included in 1976 vote validation.

GENERAL NOTE: This variable basically describes conditions at the records office identified in VCF9149: A- If R's election office was identified in VCF9149 then VCF9153 has been coded-- regardless whether R was validated or not applies specifically to 1988,1990). B- In 1984 and 1986, R's records office was not identified if R was unvalidated (0 in VCF9149): 1984 and 1986 unvalidated Rs appear in MD code 0. C- Records offices were not identified at all prior to 1984, however some (limited) information about cases of inaccessibility of voting records was obtained during 1980, 1978 and 1976. NOTE that all 1976-1980 cases have been coded 1 except for such exceptions (described below and coded 5) and for name/address problems (code 3). In 1978 and 1976, identification of records office (VCF9149) was not established, and minimal information about condition/accessibility of office records was collected. Information available from 1978 is that in 32 cases (8 in original var 1409) of Rs with active registration (coded 1 in VCF9152), interviewers were unable to check voting records at all: these cases have been coded 5 in VCF9153. Similarly, information available from 1976 indicates that in 31 cases of Rs (weighted: code 8 in original var 5012) with active registration status (coded 1 in VCF9152), interviewers were unable to check vote records: these cases have also been coded 5 in VCF9153. No cases in VCF9153 are coded 2 for 1978 or 1976. Code 1: 1984: includes 40 cases which were coded 67, 68, or 998 in VCF9149 (election office) and which were labeled 'problem with registration records' in the original dataset's variable (V1129). For all but 11 of these 40 cases, however, a voting record was found, and, of the 11 for whom no voting record was subsequently found, 7 were cases of telephone (limited) attempt at validation. Code 3: Except for 1984 and 1986, code 3 encompasses situations in which it was impossible to check specifically for R's records. Information identical to code 3 for 1984 and 1986 is found in VCF9152 code 3. Code 5: 1984: No cases appear in code 5 for 1984, because the original dataset variable combined cases of voting records 'wholly OR partially unavailable' into a single code category (contained here in code 2).

Information available is that in 1980 in Montgomery County Alabama, Madison County Alabama, and Acadia Parish Lousiana, the electoral offices would not allow any voting records to be accessible (20 cases, 5 in VCF9153)-- although the office had already allowed verification of registration status (coded 1 in VCF9152).

GENERAL NOTE: NOTE that information describing status [code 2] of non-active files was not collected systematically before 1984. Non-active- registration cases prior to 1984 appear in either code 1 or code 5, with the following exceptions: in 1978, original var 1408 indicated whether registration records were eligible/active on election day (or ineligible/inactive); 53 cases of inactive registration in 1978 have been coded 2. Similarly, in 1976, original var 5003 indicated a registration record but inactive for 70 cases, who have been coded 2 in VCF9154. Code 1 includes several cases identified as 'registration record found, NA if active/inactive' (applies specifically to 1988,1990). Code 2 for 1990 includes 1 case of 'other' inactive file and 2 cases of 'NA' type of inactive file. 1976 NOTE: Only 1976 time-series respondents who also participated in the 1972- 1974-1976 panel study (ICPSR 7607) were included in 1976 vote validation.

Inap. question not used NOTES: ------ GENERAL NOTE: See note VCF9149,VCF9152. Code 3 and code 5 include cases of limited access to vote records (codes 2 and 5 in VCF9153). Codes 3 and 5 also incorporate 1984 and 1990 cases of attempted validation by phone of Rs registered out of area (998 in VCF9149). In cases where registration is not required or where voting and registration lists are for some reason kept entirely separate, this code implies that an independent check for voting was also done and no record of R voting was found. In all Pre-Post years except 1964 (and some cases in 1976), this variable includes in valid codes respondents who did not give a post- election interview. 1964 and 1980 are the only years with cases categorized for same-day registration. Registration was not 'checked' in such cases but voting records WERE checked (4 in VCF9152 and [1980] 1 in VCF9153). The results of the vote record checks for "same-day registration" Rs in 1964 and 1980 are represented here in codes 1 (voted) and 3 (did not vote), with nocases of same-day registration coded 5. 1976 NOTE; Only 1976 time-series respondents who also participated in the 1972- 1974-1976 panel study (ICPSR 7607) were included in 1976 vote validation.
