- Notes
- Pre/post-election panel within the year: pre-election interviews before Election Day (Nov. 7) and post-election re-interviews after it. Questions from both waves are in this one poll; 420 respondents had no post-election interview, so post-wave items have smaller n. Field dates are the earliest and latest interview dates implied by VCF1015/VCF1016 (days before/after the election); those variables code 99 as NA, so interviews 99+ days after the election would be missed.
