THE ICPSR COUNCIL URGES ALL USERS OF THE ICPSR DATA FACILITIES TO FOLLOW SOME ADAPTATION OF THIS STATEMENT WITH THE PARENTHESES INDICATING ITEMS TO BE FILLED IN APPROPRIATELY OR DELETED BY THE INDIVIDUAL USER. THE DATA (AND TABULATIONS) UTILIZED IN THIS (PUBLICATION) WERE MADE AVAILABLE (IN PART) BY THE INTER-UNIVERSITY CONSORTIUM FOR POLITICAL AND SOCIAL RESEARCH. THE DATA FOR CBS NEWS/NEW YORK TIMES ELECTION SURVEYS, 1980, WERE ORIGINALLY COLLECTED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES AND CBS NEWS AND PROCESSED BY CBS NEWS AND ICPSR UNDER A GRANT FROM THE RUSSELL SAGE FOUNDATION. NEITHER THE COLLECTOR OF THE ORIGINAL DATA NOR THE CONSORTIUM BEAR ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ANALYSES OR INTERPRETATIONS PRESENTED HERE. IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FUNDING AGENCIES WITH ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE USE OF ARCHIVAL RESOURCES AND TO FACILITATE THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION ABOUT ICPSR PARTICIPANTS' RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, EACH USER OF ICPSR DATA FACILITIES IS EXPECTED TO SEND TWO COPIES OF EACH COMPLETED MANUSCRIPT OR THESIS ABSTRACT TO THE CONSORTIUM. PLEASE INDICATE IN THE COVER LETTER WHICH DATA WERE USED. SERIES STUDY DESCRIPTION THE CBS NEWS AND THE NEW YORK TIMES WERE PARTNERS IN A SERIES OF ELECTION SURVEYS COVERING THE 1980 UNITED STATES PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN. AS IN 1976, THE SURVEYS WERE INTENDED TO PROVIDE ANOTHER DIMENSION TO THE POLITICAL REPORTING OF THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS. THE SURVEYS FOCUS ON RESPONDENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARD IMPORTANT NATIONAL OR STATE ISSUES AND THEIR OPINIONS OF POSSIBLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. USING EXTENSIVE COVERAGE EARLY IN THE CAMPAIGN, THE SURVEYS WERE DESIGNED TO MONITOR THE PUBLIC'S CHANGING PERCEPTION OF THE CANDIDATES, THE ISSUES, AND THE CANDIDATES' POSITIONS VIS-A-VIS THE ISSUES. PROCESSING OF THE ELECTION SURVEYS WAS CARRIED OUT AS A COOPERATIVE EFFORT OF THE CBS NEWS STAFF AND OF THE INTER-UNIVERSITY CONSORTIUM FOR POLITICAL AND SOCIAL RESEARCH UNDER A GRANT FROM THE RUSSELL SAGE FOUNDATION. THE SEPARATE COMPONENTS OF THE COLLECTION INCLUDE TWELVE MONTHLY NATIONAL TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS, FIFTEEN PRIMARY ELECTION DAY SURVEYS (IN THE FORM OF SELF ADMINISTERED QUESTIONNAIRES) TAKEN IN TEN STATES; AND A GENERAL ELECTION DAY SURVEY. THE LAST OF THE TWELVE NATIONAL INTERVIEWS WAS TAKEN AFTER THE GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER AND WILL BE RELEASED AS A PANEL FILE IN WHICH RESPONDENTS FROM A LATE OCTOBER PRE-ELECTION SURVEY WERE INTERVIEWED. THE STATES IN WHICH THERE WERE PRIMARY DAY SURVEYS ARE NEW HAMPSHIRE, MASSACHUSETTS, FLORIDA, ILLINOIS, NEW YORK, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA, CALIFORNIA, NEW JERSEY AND OHIO. FOR CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, NEW JERSEY AND OHIO, WE HAVE ONLY ONE FILE APIECE, WHICH INCLUDES BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. FOR NEW YORK, THERE IS ONLY A DEMOCRAT PRIMARY FILE. FOR ALL OTHER STATES, THERE ARE TWO FILES EACH, ONE FOR DEMOCRATS AND ONE FOR REPUBLICANS. SAMPLING DESIGN FOR THE NATIONAL SURVEYS 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 THE CBS NEW SURVEYS. THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCEDURE WAS DONE BY JOSEPH WAKSBERG AND IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECENT PUBLICATION "SAMPLING METHODS FOR RANDOM-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 EIGHT DIGIT (AREA CODE-EXCHANGE-XX). THE PSU'S WERE STRATIFIED BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION, AREA CODE AND SIZE OF PLACE. FOUR SIZE OF PLACE STRATE WERE CRUDELY DETERMINED BY USING THE GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES OF THE PLACES WHERE THE CENTRAL OFFICES ARE LOCATED. THESE COORDINATES WERE 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. SURBURBS ARE EXCHANGES WITHIN 15 MILES OF LARGE CITIES. THE LAST STRATUM INCLUDES THE REMAINING EXCHANGES. THE NUMBER OF WORKING RESIDENTIAL TELEPHONE 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 COTERMINOUS 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. PSU'S WERE DIVIDED INTO RANDOM REPLICATES TO PERMIT VARYING SAMPLING SIZES WHILE RETAINING APPROPRIATE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION. 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 HOUSEHOLDS USING METHODS DEVELOPED BY LESLIE 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 HOUSEHOLDS. THE PROCEDURE PROVIDES AN UNBIASED SELECTED OF HOUSEHOLDS OF FEWER THAN FIVE ADULTS. THE RESPONDENT SELECTION CONTROLS FOR SEX AND THE RELATIVE AGE COMPOSITION OF THE HOUEHOLD. IN SOME MONTHS (JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND MARCH) A RANDOM SAMPLE OF THE REPLICATES WAS CHOSEN TO BE PART OF A REPUBLICAN OVERSAMPLE. THE OVERSAMPLE WAS USED TO IMPROVED ESTIMATES BASED ON THE REPUBLICAN SUBGROUP BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS IN THE SAMPLE. HOUSEHOLDS REACHED USING THESE NUMBERS WERE ONLY INCLUDED IN THE SAMPLE IF THE SELECTED RESPONDENT WAS A REPUBLICAN. ALL HOUSEHOLDS NOT IN THE REPUBLICAN OVERSAMPLE WERE RETAINED. WEIGHTING INFORMATION TWO WEIGHT VARIABLES HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FIVE NATIONAL SURVEYS BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER. ONE OF THESE TWO WEIGHTS MUST BE USED IN ANY DATA ANALYSIS. THERE ARE THREE IMPLIED DECIMAL PLACES IN EACH VARIABLE. THE SELECTION WEIGHT ASSIGNED TO EACH RESPONDENT IS THE INVERSE OF THE PROBABILITY OF SELECTION, MODIFIED BY A SERIES OF RATIO ESTIMATES. PROBABILITY OF SELECTION TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE OVERSAMPLING OF REPUBLICANS, WHERE APPROPRIATE. 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 THAT 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.) RESPONDENTS WERE ALSO WEIGHTED ACCORDING TO THEIR PROBABILITY OF VOTING. THE ESTIMATE OF THEIR LIKELIHOOD WAS BASED ON PRIOR VOTING PARTICIPATION, AND THE INDIVIDUAL'S INTENTION OF VOTING IN THE FALL. THIS ESTIMATE WAS MULTIPLIED BY THE SELECTION WEIGHT TO OBTAIN THE PROBABLE ELECTION WEIGHT. UNREGISTERED RESPONDENTS WERE ASSIGNED A PROBABLE ELECTION ESTIMATE OF 0. THE WEIGHTS COMPUTED IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ARE THE DIMENSION OF THE ADULT POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES. FOR CONVENIENCE, ALL WEIGHTS WERE DIVIDED BY A CONSTANT SO THAT THE RESULTING SUM OF THE WEIGHTS WOULD EQUAL THE ORIGINAL SAMPLE SIZE. THE FREQUENCIES IN THIS CODEBOOK WERE GENERATED WITH THE SELECTION WEIGHT. THE PROBABLE ELECTION WEIGHT WAS USED BY CBS AND THE NEW YORK TIMES IN REPORTING THE SURVEY RESULTS. FILE STRUCTURE OF THE NATIONAL SURVEYS ALL OF THE NATIONAL SURVEYS ARE AVAILABLE AS OSIRIS DATASETS OR AS CARD-IMAGE DATASETS. THE CODEBOOK INFORMATION FOR JANUARY AND FEBRUARY IS TYPED; FOR ALL OTHER DATASETS, THE DOCUMENTATION IS MACHINE READABLE. FREQUENCIES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH CODE VALUES IN JANUARY-FEBRUARY CODEBOOKS AND IN THE FIVE NATIONAL SURVEYS BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER, BUT NOT IN THE MARCH-AUGUST NATIONALS OR IN ANY OF THE PRIMARIES. PROCESSING OF THE NATIONAL SURVEYS THE DATA HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND FORMATTED TO ICPSR STANDARDS. SOME RECODING HAS BEEN DONE TO FACILITATE ANALYSIS. THERE ARE NO NON-NUMERIC CODES. FREQUENCIES ARE INCLUDED IN THE CODEBOOK. PROCESSING OF THESE DATA WAS CARRIED OUT AT ICPSR, IN CONSULTATION WITH CLYDE TUCKER AND CBS NEWS. OCTOBER EARLY (PART 10) NATIONAL SURVEY 2,135 RESPONDENTS WERE INTERVIEWED DURING OCTOBER 16-20, 1980. THERE ARE 104 VARIABLES IN THIS FILE, RELATING TO RESPONDENTS ATTITUDES TOWARDS VARIOUS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND NATIONAL ISSUES. THE LOGICAL RECORD LENGTH OF THIS FILE IS 135. THE NUMBER OF 80 CHARACTER CARD-IMAGES PER CASE IS 2. THE SELECTION WEIGHT IS VARIABLE 103. THE PROBABLE ELECTION WEIGHT IS VARIABLE 104.
