This extract of the American National Elections Study (ANES) provides a sample of selected indicators in the 2012 ANES with the goal of providing a convenient data resource for students learning statistical reasoning using the R language. Unlike the full American National Elections Study, we have removed missing values from the responses and created factor variables when appropriate to facilitate analysis using R. Our hope is that this will allow students to focus on statistical concepts without having to (initially) be concerned about some of the data management and interpretation issues associated with missing data and factor variables in R. Other than the two modifications mentioned above, all data and coding come from the 2012 American National Elections Survey. Students and researchers seeking to conduct research using the American National Elections Study should consult the original dataset at the citation that follows:
The American National Election Studies (ANES; www.electionstudies.org). The ANES 2012 Time Series Study [dataset]. Stanford University and the University of Michigan [producers].
[Excerpted from the ANES Web site]
Why does America vote as it does on Election Day? The mission of the American National Election Studies (ANES) is to inform explanations of election outcomes by providing data that support rich hypothesis testing, maximize methodological excellence, measure many variables, and promote comparisons across people, contexts, and time… Topics [in the ANES] cover voting behavior and the elections, together with questions on public opinion and attitudes of the electorate. In all Time Series studies, an interview is completed just after the election (the Post-election or “Post” interview); during years of Presidential elections an interview is also completed just before the election (the Pre-election or “Pre” interview).
Note: Please refer to the full codebook for the exact question wording, where available.
