- Respondents
- 1,714
- Sample design
- Interview modes (respondents): personal 948, telephone pre 9, telephone post 701, telephone 56. Includes 1,316 panel re-interview cases from earlier ANES studies.
- Weight
- VCF0009z, the CDF combined-sample weight ('1970 type 0; 2012-2024 full sample'), rescaled to mean 1. Nonconstant this year (design/nonresponse weights).
- Notes
- Pre/post-election panel within the year: pre-election interviews before Election Day (Nov. 5) and post-election re-interviews after it. Questions from both waves are in this one poll; 180 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.
