So much talk of #politicalviolence in the headlines these days, but what do the ANES 2024 Time Series data say?

There is a decline in reported volunteerism in the newly released data from the American National Election Studies ( @electionstudies.bsky.social‬). 1/n

These web-based, dynamic applications can be accessed via the Data Tools section of the ANES website. 1. The first tool is the ANES Guide to Public Opinion and Electoral Behavior, with >200 graphs displaying the ebbs and flows of public opinion, electoral behavior, and choice in American politics.

From the ANES 2020: Should federal spending on #SocialSecurity be increased, decreased, or kept the same? Weighted totals: 55.8% increased, 4.4% decreased, and 39.9% kept the same. See the ANES Question Search: electionstudies.org/data-tools/a...

The full release of the ANES 2024 Time Series #Data is now available. More details here: electionstudies.org/anes-announc...

From ANES 2020: Should the federal #MinimumWage be raised, kept the same, lowered but not eliminated, or eliminated altogether? Weighted totals for the responses: 59.8% raised, 31.8 kept the same, 2.7 lowered and 5.7 eliminated. To check out other questions, visit electionstudies.org/data-tools/a...

I have an op-ed in @thehill.com where I argue Dems need a message on corruption in 2028 because @electionstudies.bsky.social data shows voters who think government is corrupt have swung heavily R in the age of Trump. (Thank you to @scholars.org for help with editing!) thehill.com/opinion/5410...

New ANES data release: A preliminary release of the data from a survey administered to cohabiting spouses or partners of sampled individuals on the FtF and Web is now available as a standalone file.

🚨New Pub Alert🚨 @sociologylauren.bsky.social and I have a new paper out in SRE today! In "Zero-sum or Coalition? A Dyadic Approach for Testing Discrimination’s Impact on Perceptions of Ethnoracial Outgroups" we use perceptions of discrimination to examine racial group relations. Here's a 🧵!

The final mtg of the 2024 ANES Advisory Board is in the books. The PIs are deeply grateful for their hard work this grant cycle. Thanks also to the fantastic ANES staff at Michigan, Stanford, Texas, and Duke. It was a productive mtg reviewing lessons learned and talking about the project's future.

Americans favor labor unions over big business more than any point in the last 60 years! Visit poweratwork.us/americans-fa... to read @aaronsojourner.org & @reichnow.bsky.social's piece originally for @epi.org, now featured on @poweratwork.bsky.social, sharing new @electionstudies.bsky.social data!

Wednesday Data: Americans increasingly favor labor unions over big business. @electionstudies.bsky.social

With the release of the 2024 ANES, further evidence that Trump's invovlement in US politics had the effect of *reducing* authoritarianism in the public (in a thermostatic style--of course!--with larger changes among Democratic voters) Data from @electionstudies.bsky.social CDF and 2024ts

The newly released @electionstudies.bsky.social 2024 time series has polarization basically static, with Democratic respondents moderating on race and healthcare (consistent with the thermostatic response to a Democratic president).

The preliminary release of the 2024 Time Series Pre-Election data is now available for download: electionstudies.org/data-center/...

Thanks ‪@pscmars.bsky.social‬ for the question. Our post-election study data collection will be complete within a couple of weeks and we are working hard on preparing preliminary releases of the datasets. Stay tuned!

Our #ANES75th year is almost over. Read more reflections on 75 years of the ANES: electionstudies.org/about-us/ref...

We like to think that we make our own political choices. Looking at some @electionstudies.bsky.social data, though, the relationship b/w parents' party and our own is striking. Even allowing for some misreporting, I'm surprised how strong this has been, and over multiple generations.

From our new issue: "Willing but Unable: Reassessing the Relationship between Racial Group Consciousness and Black Political Participation" by Jasmine Carrera Smith, Jared Clemons, Arvind Krishnamurthy, Miguel Martinez, Leann Mclaren, and Ismail White. #ASPRNewIssue www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Question: When will the ANES 2024 data be released? Answer: We are still finalizing timelines for data releases but anticipate preliminary releases of the pre- and post-election data sometime in the first quarter of 2025.

"Scholarship using the ANES has shed unparalleled insight on central determinants of public opinion and political behavior: interests, principles, partisanship, and group attitudes. [It] is one of the most important public goods in political science." Spencer Piston, Boston University #ANES75th

"The large ANES questionnaire gives scientists an extensive list of topics to explore and to understand the American electorate." @francy-lunadiaz.bsky.social, University of Michigan #ANES75th

"The ANES is a uniquely valuable source of data for illuminating the mechanisms undergirding social and political forces in America..." @drakulich.bsky.social, Northeastern University

Pre-election interviewing has ended. The 2024 Pre-election questionnaires are now online: electionstudies.org/data-center/... Post-election interviewing continues through Dec 31. The second replicate will be fielded from Jan 15-Mar 17 to capture respondent attitudes during the post-inaugural period.

"One of the most useful aspects of the ANES is that it allows us to track racial attitudes and their relationship with political outcomes over time." @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social, Stanford University

"Democracy is based on the attitudes of the public, and the ANES has led to greater understanding of the complexity of those attitudes." Herbert Weisberg, Ohio State University

"The American National Election Studies has for decades provided valuable resources for understanding U.S. public opinion and has continually improved and adapted to changing times and circumstances." L.J Zigerell, Illinois State #ANES75th

The time series is an invaluable resource to the social science community in understanding trends in partisanship, vote choice, and attitudes from everything about gender to foreign policy. @sgadarian.bsky.social, Syracuse University #ANES75th

In recognition of the #ANES75th, UM's Center for Political Studies asked scholars what historical trends the study has captured. Two prevailing themes: Increasing polarization and partisan alignment around issues of race. Check out the blog piece by @tevahp.bsky.social cpsblog.isr.umich.edu?p=3381

We're celebrating the #ANES75th with an #APSA2024 panel that brings together scholarship using ANES data in innovative ways. Psst...we'll have ANES swag!

Shanto Iyengar of Stanford says, "The unparalleled ANES time series data have made possible the discovery of an entirely new subfield of American politics - the phenomenon of affective polarization or animus across the party divide. #ANES75th #AffectivePolarization #polisky

Lena Centeno of Westat reviews the use of live video interviewing in the ANES 2020 Time Series Study and Westat's building on that experience when implementing video as a mode in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. #ANES75th #AAPOR24

@jenlawless.bsky.social: I can't imagine a time when I won't rely on ANES data for research and teaching - there's no better source for trends in U.S. political behavior and elections. #ANES75th More at cpsblog.isr.umich.edu?p=3279

Yesterday the ANES board meeting began at Michigan's ISR. The advisory board and PIs @nickvalentino.bsky.social, Shanto Iyengar, Daron Shaw & Sunshine Hillygus, help finalize the 2024 study. We thank everyone for their wisdom and guidance as we move towards the data collection period. #polisky

Interesting shifts in political preferences take place among Black and Hispanics recently -- but no sign of "realignment" in party ID over a more extended period @electionstudies.bsky.social

As a part of our 75th anniversary celebration, Michigan's Center for Political Studies invited researchers to comment on the contribution ANES to their scholarship and understanding of American politics. #ANES75th

Yay for us! We won the @aapor.bsky.social 2024 Policy Impact Award!! #ANES75th #aapor24
