Guide to the May 2018 Views of the Electorate Research Survey DEMOCRACY FUND VOTER STUDY GROUP DATA RELEASE NO 1. DECEMBER 2018 About the Voter Study Group The Democracy Fund Voter Study Group is a research collaboration of more than two dozen analysts and scholars from across the political spectrum examining and delivering insights on the evolving views of American voters. As the 2016 presidential campaign unfolded, it became increasingly clear that the underlying values and beliefs driving voter decisions need to be better understood. To that end, Henry Olsen, John Sides, and Joe Goldman convened a politically diverse group of conservative, progressive, and independent public opinion experts to study the electorate together. The group seeks not to achieve consensus, but to engage in discussion about how the views of the electorate are evolving and the implications of those changes on our democracy. Our Mission The research of the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group is designed to help policy makers and thought leaders listen more closely, and respond more powerfully, to the views of American voters. Our goal is to have more productive conversations where voters feel like they are truly heard. We hope the study group’s research and analysis helps us understand each other and make our democracy more functional. Research In partnership with YouGov, and led by research director John Sides, Voter Study Group surveys large subsets of the American electorate over time. The 2018 VOTER Survey (Views of the Electorate Research Survey), completed in May 2018, consists of responses from over 6,000 individuals, many of whom participated in prior surveys in 2011, 2012, and 2016. Our unique longitudinal data allow for deep exploration of public opinion on the issues and values that drive voter behavior. The Voter Study Group is funded by the Democracy Fund. Guide to the May 2018 Views of the Electorate Research Survey—Data Release No.1 | www.voterstudygroup.org 1 Participants Voter Study Group experts join us from across the political spectrum and are leaders in their fields, bringing with them a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. Together, they examine data and explore voter sentiments in order to help political leaders respond and connect to the needs of Americans. Participants include: Joe Goldman (President) Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg Henry Olsen (Project Director) Taeku Lee John Sides (Research Director) Tod Lindberg Alicia Kolar Prevost (Manager) Brink Lindsey Antoine Banks Dalia Mogahed Karlyn Bowman Hans Noel Cathy Cohen Adrian D. Pantoja Michael Dimock Patrick Ruffini Lee Drutman Lauren Strayer Emily Ekins Ruy Teixeira Morris Fiorina Ismail White Bernard Fraga Vanessa Williamson William A. Galston David Winston Robert Griffin Felicia Wong Robert P. Jones Methodology The 2018 VOTER Survey (Views of the Electorate Research Survey) was conducted by the survey firm YouGov. In total, 6,005 adults (ages 18 and up) with internet access took the survey online between April 5 and May 14, 2018. The reported margin of error is plus or minus 2 percent. Of this group, 4,705 respondents are long-term participants (“panelists”) in the VOTER Survey, 500 respondents comprise a new over-sample of Hispanics, and 800 respondents comprise a new over-sample of voters ages 18 to 24 (who were too young to be interviewed in the earliest survey). The earlier waves of the VOTER Survey proceeded as follows: Panelists were first interviewed by YouGov in 2011-2012 as part of the 2012 Cooperative Campaign Analysis Project (CCAP). In that survey, 45,000 respondents were first interviewed in December 2011 and were interviewed a second time in one of the 45 weekly surveys between January 1 and November 8, 2012. After the 2012 election, 35,408 respondents were interviewed a third time. In December 2016, 11,168 panelists from 2012 CCAP were invited to respond and 8,637 of them (77 percent) completed the survey. YouGov also supplied measures of primary voting behavior from the end of the primary period (July 2016), when these respondents had been contacted as part of a different survey project. This December 2016 survey (N=8,000) constitutes the first VOTER Survey. The second survey, in July 2017, was the second VOTER Survey (N=5000). This May 2018 survey is thus the third VOTER Survey. Guide to the May 2018 Views of the Electorate Research Survey—Data Release No.1 | www.voterstudygroup.org 2 The table below shows how many respondents were interviewed in various combinations of these surveys. Shaded areas indicate a completed interview: Number of respondents December 2011 November 2012 July 2016 December 2016 July 2017 April 2018 4,052 2,381 948 619 34 1300 Note: The July 2016 data includes only presidential primary participation and vote choice. The N=34 are from a small subset of respondents who were originally interviewed for the December 2016 survey but were not included in the matched and weighted data for that survey. However, they were made eligible for interviewing in April 2018. The N=1300 are the over-samples of Hispanics and 18- to 24-year-olds. The 2012 CCAP was constructed using YouGov’s sample matching procedure. A stratified sample is drawn from YouGov’s panel, which consists of people who have agreed to take occasional surveys. The strata are defined by the combination of age, gender, race, and education, and each stratum is sampled in proportion to its size in the U.S. population. Then, each element of this sample is matched to a synthetic sampling frame that is constructed from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the Current Population Survey Voting and Registration Supplement, and other databases. The matching procedure finds the observation in the sample from YouGov’s panel that most closely matches each observation in the synthetic sampling frame on a set of demographic characteristics. The resulting sample is then weighted by a set of demographic and non-demographic variables (in the dataset, this is the variable “weight”). On average, YouGov’s methodology produces less bias across a series of benchmarks than do other methodologies using online samples.

Guide to the May 2018 Views of the Electorate Research Survey—Data Release No.1 | www.voterstudygroup.org 3 Variable Names Variables whose names end with “_2018” capture responses to this May 2018 survey. Variables whose names end with “_2017” capture responses to this July 2017 survey. Variables whose names end with “ _2016” capture responses to the December 2016 wave of the survey. The exception were three variables about the presidential primary that were asked in July 2016 (pp_primary16_2016, pp_demprim16_2016, pp_repprim16_2016). Variables whose names end with “_2012” capture responses to the November 2012 wave of the survey, which was conducted after the 2012 election. Variables whose names end with “_baseline” capture responses to the December 2011 wave of the survey. Sample Weights The data file includes all respondents ever interviewed as part of the VOTER Survey. Thus, it is important to use the correct weight depending on the specific subset of respondents being analyzed. Those weights are: • weight_2016: analysis of the December 2016 survey (N=8,000) • weight_2017: analysis of the July 2017 survey (N=5,000) • weight_panel: analysis of the panelists in the May 2018 survey (N=4,705) • weight_overall: analysis of the entire May 2018 survey, including panelists as well as the Latino and 18-24-year-old over-samples (N=6,005) • weight_latino: analysis of the May 2018 Latino over-sample (N=500) • weight_18_24: analysis of the May 2018 over-sample of 18-24-year -olds (N=800) Citation To reference the 2018 VOTER Survey, please use this protocol: Democracy Fund Voter Study Group.
