This study is the twenty-sixth in a series of national election studies produced by the Center for Political Studies and the Survey Research Center. The 2000 American National Election Studies entailed both a pre-election interview and a post-election re-interview. Hundreds of substantive themes are covered including: interest in political campaigns, attentiveness to media coverage, political participation and knowledge of the religious background of Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates. In this data file, variables 892 through 920 include indicators on religiosity, congregational affiliation, and church attendance. Local church activities with regard to politics are also included in the questionnaire. Finally, several new concepts in the 2000 study included questions designed to evaluate social trust, social networks and political knowledge. The NES/CPS American National Election Studies 2000 was conducted by the Center for Political Studies of the Institute for Social Research, under the general direction of Principal Investigators Nancy Burns and Donald R. Kinder.
- Data File
- Variables: 1869
Cases: 1807
Weight Variables: 6, 7 - Data Collection
- Date Collected: September to December of 2000
- Funded By
- These materials are based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under grant numbers SBR-9707741, SBR-9317631, SES-9209410, SES-9009379, SES-8808361, SES-8341310, SES-8207580, and SOC77-08885, as well as the Russell Sage Foundation under grant number 82-00-01, and the University of Michigan.
- Collection Procedures
- Survey data was taken utilizing both telephone and face-to-face personal interviews.
- Sampling Procedures
- The 2000 study entailed both a pre-election and post election interview. The core study replicates previous approaches by using probability area sampling and face-to-face interviewing. Prior to the election, 1006 respondents were interviewed. Following the election, 694 respondents were re-interviewed face-to-face. RDD sampling and telephone interviewing was also used to support the core study. Here, 801 respondents were interviewed by phone prior to the election and 862 respondents were interviewed by phone after the election.
- NES Sampling
- The study population for the 2000 Pre- and Post-Election Study is defined to include all United States citizens of voting age on or before the 2000 Election Day. Eligible citizens must have resided in housing units in the forty-eight contiguous states. This definition excludes persons living in Alaska or Hawaii and requires eligible persons to have been both a United States citizen and eighteen years of age on or before the 7th of November 2000.
The 2000 NES is a dual frame sample with both an area sample and an RDD component. The RDD frame provides coverage of telephone households while the area sample provides full coverage of all U.S. households including those without telephones. The 2000 NES data set contains 1006 area sample cases and 801 telephone sample cases.
The area sample is based on a multi-stage area probability sample selected from the Survey Research Center's (SRC) 1990 National Sample design. Identification of the 2000 NES sample respondents was conducted using a four stage sampling process--a primary stage sampling of U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) or New England County Metropolitan Areas (NECMAs) and non-MSA counties, followed by a second stage sampling of area segments, a third stage sampling of housing units within sampled area segments and concluding with the random selection of a single respondent from selected housing units. A detailed documentation of the 1990 SRC National Sample, from which the 2000 NES sample was drawn, is provided in the SRC publication titled 1990 SRC National Sample: Design and Development. - Principal Investigators

- The full 3-digit 1990 Census Occupation Code was used to
code the occupation of respondents. In order to minimize
the amount of highly specific information released about
respondents, the full occupation code has been recoded to a
71 category code, which is based on the occupation code
sub-headings in the Census Code.
Users who need access to the full 3-digit occupation code
for their research purposes should contact NES project staff
for details about how this could be arranged.
In the code description that follows, the full 1990 Census
Code is presented. At the beginning of each recoded
section, the statement "(XXX) THROUGH (YYY) ARE RECODED TO
(ZZ)" indicates the code values to which the specific
occupations have been recoded. For example, purchasing
managers (009), legislators (003), and funeral directors
(019) have all been recoded to (01). Numbers in parentheses
following the occupation categories are the U.S. Department
of Commerce's 1980 Standard Occupational Classification code
equivalents. The abbreviation "pt" means "part" and
"N.E.C." means "not elsewhere classified".
