THE ICPSR CITATION REFLECTS ONLY AN ALPHABELTICAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS. THE SURVEYS WERE INTENDED TO PROVIDE ANOTHER DIMENSION TO THE POLITICAL REPORTING OF THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS. THE SURVEYS, USING EXTENSIVE COVERAGE EARLY IN THE PRIMARY CAMPAIGN, WERE DESIGNED TO MONITOR THE PUBLIC'S CHANGING PERCEPTION OF THE CANDIDATES, THE ISSUES, AND THE CANDIDATES' POSITION VIS-A-VIS THE ISSUES. IT WAS THE INTENTION OF THE TWO NEWS ORGANIZATIONS TO REDUCE SPECULATION IN THEIR CAMPAIGN REPORTING ABOUT THE VOTING PUBLIC'S STATE OF MIND. TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED. THE FIRST WERE TEN SEPARATE TELEPHONE SURVEYS, EACH WITH AN AVERAGE OF 1500 RANDOMLY SELECTED ADULTS. FIVE SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED MONTHLY FROM FEBRUARY THROUGH JUNE, FOUR MORE BETWEEN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND THE GENERAL ELECTION--ONE IN SEPTEMBER AND ONE FOLLOWING EACH PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. A FINAL SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED TWO DAYS AFTER THE GENERAL ELECTION. THE SECOND SET OF SURVEYS WERE DONE ON THE DAY OF THE PRIMARY OR ELECTION. INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED AT THE POLLING PLACE AMONG A RANDOM SAMPLE OF PEOPLE WHO HAD JUST VOTED IN EITHER THE DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ELECTION. THESE SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED IN THE FOLLOWING PRIMARY STATES: CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW YORK, OHIO, OREGON, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN. ADDITIONALLY, FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, THERE WAS A NATIONWIDE ELECTION DAY SURVEY CONDUCTED AT THE POLLING PLACE WITH VOTERS THROUGHOUT THE NATION. RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED TO IDENTIFY THEIR POLITICAL PARTY PREFERENCE, THE CANDIDATE FOR WHOM THEY WOULD VOTE OR HAD VOTED IN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, THEIR ATTITUDES TOWARD NATIONAL ISSUES, THE ISSUES AND CANDIDATE CHARACTERISTICS THAT WERE IMPORTANT TO THEM IN THEIR CHOICE OF A CANDIDATE, AND SEVERAL DEMOGRAPHICS.

THE FILE CONTAINS DATA FOR 1728 REGISTERED RESPONDENTS AND 314 UNREGISTERED RESPONDENTS WHO WERE FIRST INTERVIEWED IN THE DEBATE THREE SURVEY AND WERE ABLE TO BE RECONTACTED AND REINTERVIEWED FOR THE POST-ELECTION SURVEY (WEIGHTED N=2019; SEE WEIGHTING INFORMATION P. VIII). DATA FOR BOTH SURVEYS IS INCLUDED IN THE POST-ELECTION FILE. IN THE CODEBOOK FOR THIS SURVEY, THE "A" QUESTIONS COMPRISE THE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE DEBATE THREE SURVEY AS ADMINISTERED TO THE REGISTERED RESPONDENTS. THE "B" QUESTIONS COMPRISE THE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE POST-ELECTION SURVEY AS ADMINISTERED TO THE REGISTERED RESPONDENTS. THE UNREGISTERED RESPONDENTS AND THOSE RESPONDENTS WHOSE REGISTRATION WAS NOT ASCERTAINED (CODED 1, 8 OR 9 IN Q.(A)2.) WERE ASKED ONLY Q.(A)1-Q.(A)3 AND Q.(A)47-Q.(A)59 IN THE DEBATE THREE SURVEY. WHEN THEY WERE REINTERVIEWED FOR THE POST-ELECTION SURVEY, THEY WERE ASKED Q.(A)4, Q.(A)6-Q.(A)10, Q.(A)13, Q.(A)14, Q.(A)17, Q.(A)18, Q.(A)22, Q.(A)28, Q.(A)31 Q.(A)32, Q.(A)35-Q.(A)38A-D, Q.(A)38F, Q.(A)39, Q.(A)41, Q.(A)46, AS WELL AS MOST OF THE "B" QUESTIONS. VARIABLES 20, 22-26, 29, 30, 32, 33, 37, 42, 45, 46, 49-55, 57, 58, 60, AND 69 CONTAIN DATA FOR ALL RESPONDENTS, BUT THESE QUESTIONS WERE ASKED OF THE REGISTERED RESPONDENTS BEFORE THE ELECTION IN THE DEBATE THREE SURVEY, AND OF THE UNREGISTERED RESPONDENTS AFTER THE ELECTION IN THE POST-ELECTION SURVEY. RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED FOR THEIR VOTING HISTORY, THEIR SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC BACKGROUND INFORMATION, AS WELL AS THEIR EVALUATION OF THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES' POSITIONS ON VARIOUS POLITICAL ISSUES. RESPONDENTS WERE ALSO ASKED FOR THEIR OPINIONS ON CURRENT POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES. THERE ARE 130 VARIABLES IN THE DATASET. V RELATED PUBLICATIONS CHARLES H.BACKSTROM AND GERALD D. HURSH, SURVEY RESEARCH. NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PRESS, 1963. JOSEPH WAKSBERG, "SAMPLING METHODS FOR RANDOM-DIGIT DIALING," JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION, VOL. 73 (MARCH, 1978) 40-46. VI SAMPLING INFORMATION THE INDIVIDUALS COMPRISING THE SAMPLE IN THE CBS NEWS/NEW YORK TIMES NATIONWIDE TELEPHONE SURVEYS WERE SELECTED THROUGH A VARIATION OF RANDOM-DIGIT DIALING TECHNIQUES USING A PROCEDURE DESIGNED BY WARREN J. MITOFSKY IN 1970 FOR CBS NEWS SURVEYS. THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCEDURE WAS DONE BY JOSEPH WAKSBERG AND IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECENT PUBLICATION "SAMPLING METHODS FOR RAMDOM-DIGIT DIALING," JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION. (VOL.73) MARCH, 1978, PP. 40-46. PRIMARY SAMPLING UNITS (PSU'S) ARE BLOCKS OF 100 TELEPHONE NUMBERS, IDENTICAL THROUGH THE EIGHTH DIGIT (AREA CODE-EXCHANGE-XX__). THE PSU'S WERE STRATIFIED BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION, AREA CODE AND SIZE OF PLACE. FOUR SIZE OF PLACE STRATA WERE CRUDELY DETERMINED BY USING THE GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES OF THE PLACES WHERE THE CENTRAL OFFICES ARE LOCATED. THESE COORDINATES ARE ASSIGNED BY THE PHONE COMPANY TO EVERY EXCHANGE. ALL EXCHANGES IN THE SAME CITY WOULD HAVE THE SAME COORDINATES. LARGE AND SMALL CITY STRATA WERE DEFINED BY COUNTING THE NUMBER OF EXCHANGES PER PAIR OF COORDINATES. SUBURBS ARE EXCHANGES WITHIN 15 MILES OF LARGE CITIES. THE LAST STRATUM INCLUDES THE REMAINING EXCHANGES. THE NUMBER OF WORKING RESIDENTIAL PHONE NUMBERS PER EXCHANGE VARIES CONSIDERABLY BY STRATUM. THE FIRST STAGE SELECTION WAS SYSTEMATIC WITH A UNIFORM RATE, FROM A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL EXISTING AREA CODES AND EXCHANGES IN THE CONTERMINOUS UNITED STATES. THE LAST TWO DIGITS WERE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED WITHIN EACH PSU. THE NUMBER WAS CALLED FOR A SCREENING INTERVIEW. IF IT WAS A WORKING RESIDENTIAL NUMBER, THE PSU (I.E., THE BLOCK OF 100 TELEPHONE NUMBERS) WAS RETAINED IN THE SAMPLE. THREE RESIDENCES WERE TO BE CONTACTED WITHIN A PSU FOR EACH SURVEY. THE ACTUAL TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR EACH SURVEY WERE SELECTED IN SMALL GROUPS (REPLICATES), TO PERMIT VARYING SAMPLE SIZES, WHILE STILL RETAINING GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION. VII THE INITIAL SCREENING OF A PSU TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE TELEPHONE COMPANY'S PRACTICE OF ASSIGNING WORKING TELEPHONE NUMBERS IN BLOCKS OF 100'S OR 1000'S BEFORE STARTING A NEW BLOCK. THE DESIGN IS SELF-WEIGHTING, AS THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN EIGHT DIGIT GROUP OR "BLOCK" BEING SELECTED AS A PSU IS EXACTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE NUMBER OF WORKING NUMBERS IN THE BLOCK. RESPONDENTS WERE SELECTED WITHIN HOUSEHOLD USING A METHOD DEVELOPED BY KISH, AND MODIFIED BY BACKSTROM AND HURSH. (CHARLES H. BACKSTROM AND GERALD D. HURSH, SURVEY RESEARCH. NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PRESS, 1963, PP. 52-58.) THE PROBABILITY OF SELECTION DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF HOUSEHOLD. THE PROCEDURE PROVIDES AN UNBIASED SELECTION OF HOUSEHOLDS OF FEWER THAN FIVE ADULTS. THE RESPONDENT SELECTION CONTROLS FOR SEX AND THE RELATIVE AGE COMPOSITION OF THE HOUSEHOLD. VIII WEIGHTING AND FREQUENCIES INFORMATION THE STUDY CONTAINS A WEIGHT VARIABLE (V5) WHICH MUST BE USED IN ANY DATA ANALYSIS. THERE ARE THREE IMPLIED DECIMAL PLACES IN THE WEIGHT VARIABLE. THE FREQUENCIES WHICH APPEAR IN THE CODEBOOK NEXT TO THE CODE VALUES FOR EACH VARIABLE ARE WEIGHTED. DECIMAL PLACES IN THESE FREQUENCIES HAVE BEEN ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER. THE WEIGHT ASSIGNED TO EACH RESPONDENT IS THE INVERSE OF THE PROBABILITY OF SELECTION, MODIFIED BY A SERIES OF RATIO ESTIMATES. THE FIRST STAGE IS ESSENTIALLY A NON-INTERVIEW ADJUSTMENT WITHIN GEOGRAPHIC REGION. FOR EACH REGION, AN ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE TO APPROXIMATE THE NUMBER OF ADULTS IN THE REGION. IN THE NEXT STAGE, RACE BY SEX WERE THE RATIO ESTIMATE CHARACTERISTICS, AND THE FINAL STAGE WAS AGE BY EDUCATION. (ON OCCASION, BECAUSE OF A SMALL NUMBER OF SAMPLE CASES IN SOME CELLS AT THE FINAL STAGE, SOME EDUCATIONAL GROUPS WERE COLLAPSED WITHIN AGE CATEGORIES.) THE WEIGHTS COMPUTED IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ARE THE DIMENSION OF THE ADULT POPULATIN OF THE UNITED STATES. FOR CONVENIENCE, ALL WEIGHTS WERE REDUCED BY A CONSTANT SO THAT THE RESULTING SUM OF THE WEIGHTS IS THE SAMPLE SIZE. A WEIGHT IS ASSIGNED TO EACH SAMPLE RECORD, AND MUST BE USED FOR ALL TABULATIONS. IX CODEBOOK INFORMATION THE EXAMPLE BELOW ILLUSTRATES THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE CODEBOOK FOR A TYPICAL VARIABLE. THE NUMBERS IN CIRCLES DO NOT APPEAR IN THE CODEBOOK, BUT REFER TO THE EXPLANATIONS WHICH FOLLOW THIS EXAMPLE. ---------------------------------------------------------- 1 VAR 22 2 5A MST IMPT REP POL ISSU 3 MD=0 OR GE 7 REF 22 4 LOC 39 WIDTH 1 5 ----------- 6 ----------- 7 Q.5A.

NO ANSWER, REFUSED; ERRONEOUSLY CODED INAP ........................................................... 1. INDICATES THE VARIABLE AND REFERENCE NUMBERS. A VARI- ABLE AND A REFERENCE NUMBER ARE ASSIGNED TO EACH ITEM IN THE STUDY. IN THIS CODEBOOK, WHICH DOCUMENTS THE ARCHIVED DATASET, THESE NUMBERS ARE IDENTICAL. SHOULD THE DATA BE SUBSET OR REARRANGED BY AN OSIRIS PROGRAM (E.G., MMP TO INTERSPERSE DATA FROM ANOTHER SOURCE, OR TCOT TO PRODUCE AN ANALYSIS DECK), THE VARIABLE NUMBERS WOULD CHANGE TO REFLECT THE ORDER OF THE NEW DATASET, WHILE THE REFERENCE NUMBERS WOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED TO REFLECT THE VARIABLE NUMBER IN THE CODEBOOK DESCRIBING THE ARCHIVED DATASET. X 2. INDICATES THE ABBREVIATED VARIABLE NAME (MAXIMUM OF 24 CHARACTERS) USED IN THE OSIRIS SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY THE VARIABLE FOR THE USER. AN EXPANDED VERSION OF THE VARIABLE NAME CAN BE FOUND IN THE VARIABLE DESCRIPTION LIST. THE QUESTION NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH THE VARIABLE APPEARS AT THE BEGINING OF THE VARIABLE NAME. 3. INDICATES THE CODE VALUES OF MISSING DATA. IN THIS EXAMPLE, CODE VALUES EQUAL TO ZERO AND THOSE GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO SEVEN ARE MISSING DATA (MD=0 OR GE 7). ALTERNATIVE STATEMENTS FOR OTHER VARIABLES ARE "MD=0", "MD=9", OR "NO MISSING DATA CODES". SOME ANALYSIS SOFTWARE PACKAGES (INCLUDING THE OSIRIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE) REQUIRE THAT CERTAIN TYPES OF DATA WHICH THE USER DESIRES TO EXCLUDE FROM ANALYSIS CAN BE DESIGNATED AS "MISSING DATA", E.G., INAPPROPRIATE, UNASCERTAINED, UNASCERTAINABLE OR AMBIGOUS DATA CATEGORIES. ALTHOUGH THESE CODES ARE DEFINED AS MISSING DATA CATEGORIES, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE USER SHOULD NOT OR CANNOT USE THEM IN A SUBSTANTIVE ROLE IF SO DESIRED. 4. INDICATES THE STARTING LOCATION AND WIDTH OF THIS VARI- ABLE WHEN THE DATA ARE STORED ON A MAGNETIC TAPE IN THE OSIRIS FORMAT. IF THE VARIABLE IS OF A MULTIPLE- RESPONSE TYPE, THE WIDTH REFERENCED IS THAT OF A SINGLE RESPONSE. 5. INDICATES THE LOCATION BY DECK AND COLUMN(S) OF THIS VARIABLE WHEN THE DATA ARE ON CARDS OR IN A CARD-IMAGE FORMAT (EITHER 80- OR 84-COLUMN FORMAT). 6. A VARIABLE CONTAINING DATA WITH IMPLIED DECIMALS IS DENOTED BY THE MESSAGE "XX DEC PLACE(S)", WHERE XX IS THE NUMBER OF DECIMAL PLACES IMPLIED (NOT PUNCHED) IN THE VARIABLE. 7. THIS IS THE FULL TEXT (QUESTION) SUPPLIED BY THE INVESTIGATOR TO DESCRIBE THE VARIABLE. THE QUESTION TEXT REFLECTS THE ORIGINAL WORDING OF THE QUESTION- NAIRE ITEM. 8. INDICATES AN ADDITIONAL COMMENT OR EXPLANATION APPENDED TO THE VARIABLE DESCRIPTION. XI 9. A VARIABLE WHICH HAS A FOOTNOTE ASSOCIATED WITH IT IS DENOTED BY THE MESSAGE "SEE NOTE(S) X", WHERE X IS THE NUMBER OF THE FOOTNOTE REFERENCED. 10. INDICATES THE FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE OF EACH CODE VALUE FOR THIS VARIABLE. 11. INDICATES THE CODE VALUES OCCURRING IN THE DATA FOR THIS VARIABLE; WHERE RANGES OF VALUES ARE INDICATED BY ..., THE "..." DO NOT APPEAR IN THE DATA. 12. INDICATES THE TEXTUAL DEFINITIONS OF THE CODES. ABBREVIATIONS COMMONLY USED IN THE CODE DEFINITIONS ARE "DK" (DON'T KNOW), "NA" (NOT ASCERTAINED), AND "INAP" (INAPPROPRIATE). THE PHRASES "SHOULD HAVE BEEN CODED INAP BUT WAS NOT" AND "ERRONEOUSLY CODED INAP," WHICH APPEAR FREQUENTLY IN THE "INAP" AND "NO ANSWER" CODE DEFINITIONS, REFLECT RECODING THAT WAS DONE TO THE ORIGINAL DATA TO ACHIEVE CONSISTENCY. RESPONDENTS WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN CODED "INAP" BUT WERE NOT HAVE BEEN RECODED TO "INAP", AND THOSE WHO WERE CODED "INAP" BUT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAVE BEEN RECODED TO THE "NO ANSWER" CATEGORY. XII PROCESSING INFORMATION THIS STUDY WAS PROCESSED ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD ICPSR PROCEDURES. THE DATA WERE CHECKED FOR INCONSISTENT CODES, ILLEGAL CODES AND BLANKS WHICH, WHENEVER FOUND, WERE CORRECTED BY RECODING TO THE APPROPRIATE MISSING DATA CATEGORIES. THE PHRASES "SHOULD HAVE BEEN CODED INAP BUT WAS NOT" AND "ERRONEOULSY CODED INAP," WHICH APPEAR FREQUENTLY IN THE "INAP" AND "NO ANSWER" CODE DEFINITIONS, REFLECT RECODING THAT WAS DONE TO THE ORIGINAL DATA TO ACHIEVE CONSISTENCY. RESPONDENTS WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN CODED "INAP" BUT WERE NOT HAVE BEEN RECODED TO "INAP", AND THOSE WHO WERE CODED "INAP" BUT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAVE BEEN RECODED TO THE "NO ANSWER" CATEGORY. STATEMENTS BRACKETED IN "(" AND ")" SIGNS IN THE BODY OF THE CODEBOOK AND THE FOOTNOTES WERE ADDED BY THE PROCESSORS FOR EXPLANATORY PURPOSES. FILE STRUCTURE THE DATA ARE AVAILABLE FROM ICPSR IN TWO FORMATS: A CARD-IMAGE FILE AND AN OSIRIS DATASET. THE CARD-IMAGE FILE CONTAINS 3 DECKS PER RESPONDENT ON 80-COLUMN PUNCHED CARDS. THE DATA ARE SORTED BY RESPONDENT NUMBER WITH ALL DECKS (CARDS) FOR EACH CASE TOGETHER IN ASCENDING ORDER. THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS TO THE OSIRIS DATASET. THE OSIRIS DICTIONARY CONTAINS ALL TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR EACH VARIABLE IN THE OSIRIS DATAFILE. THE DICTIONARY OR DICTIONARY-CODEBOOK FILE IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OSIRIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE. THE OSIRIS DATA FILE IS A SINGLE LOGICAL RECORD OF 153 BYTES FOR EACH RESPONDENT. THERE ARE 130 VARIABLES IN THE DATASET. THE OSIRIS DATA FILE CAN BE ACCESSED DIRECTLY BY SOFTWARE PACKAGES WHICH DO NOT USE THE OSIRIS DICTIONARY BY SPECIFYING THE TAPE LOCATIONS OF THE DESIRED VARIABLES. TAPE LOCATIONS ARE PROVIDED IN THIS CODEBOOK. XIII VARIABLE DESCRIPTION LIST VAR. NO.
