Part I
Introduction
The Cooperative Congressional Election Study, or CCES, seeks to study how Americans view
Congress and hold their representatives accountable during elections, how they voted and
their electoral experiences, and how their behavior and experiences vary with political geog-
raphy and social context. This study constructed a very large sample capable of capturing
variation across a wide variety of legislative constituencies. In fact, the state-level samples
are sufficiently large as to measure with a reasonable degree of precision the distribution of
voters’ preferences within most states.
The 2016 CCES involved 60 teams, yielding a Common Content sample of 64,600 cases. The
subjects for this study were recruited during the fall of 2016. Each research team purchased a
1,000 person national sample survey, conducted by YouGov of Redwood City, CA. Interviews
for the 2016 survey were conducted in two waves. The pre-election wave of the questionnaire
was in the field from September 28 to November 7; the post-election wave was in the field
from November 9 to December 14. Each survey has approximately 120 questions. For each
survey of 1,000 persons, half of the questionnaire was developed and controlled entirely by
each individual research team, and half of the questionnaire is devoted to Common Content.
The Common Content consists of the questions common to all team modules and has a
sample size equal to the total sample size of all team modules combined. Most of the 60
teams purchased 1,000 person surveys, though a few teams purchased additional cases to
increase their sample size and size of the Common Content. All cases were selected through
the Internet and YouGov constructed matched random samples for this study.
Data Release 1 occurred on March 3, 2017. Data for this study is archived and available at
the Harvard University Dataverse. A subsequent release will include vote validation for all
respondents.
The 2016 CCES is part of an on-going study. The Cooperative Congressional Election Study
formed in 2006 to study congressional elections and representation using very large scale
national surveys, building off of the 2005 MIT Public Opinion Research and Training Lab
(PORTL) study. The CCES has been conducted in every year since 2006 and has received
support from the National Science Foundation for all even-year surveys from 2010 onward.
This guide describes the methodology behind the overall study and the measures and vari-
ables developed for the Common Content of the 2016 study. There are five parts to the 2016
CCES Common Content – sample identifiers (including state and congressional district),
profile questions (largely demographic), pre-election questions, post-election questions, and
contextual data (including candidate names and parties, election results, and roll call votes).
This codebook provides question wordings, values, and frequencies presented of the vari-
ables for the 2016 Common Content dataset. Each Team Module has its own dataset and
codebook, which will be posted to the Dataverse by July, 2018.
7
The criteria for inclusion of a question in the Common Content were three-fold. First, what
questions would naturally be of interest to scholars researching Congress, representation, and
elections? Items such as approval of Congress, approval of the individual Senator or House
Member, Partisanship, Ideology, views on the economy and war, and voting behavior, as well
as demographic characteristics of voters fall into this category. Second, what questions did a
large number of teams want to include in the study? For example, a number of research teams
expressed interests in studying roll call voting behavior of members of Congress. Another
cluster of teams wanted a more extensive battery of questions on religion, which led the CCES
to expand beyond the usual questions asked by the ANES. Third, what phenomena can only
be measured with a large survey? The very large sample for the Common Content provides
the opportunity to study legislative constituencies – states and congressional districts – as
well as voters within those constituencies, to study very rare or low frequency events or
very small populations, and to measure with fairly high accuracy interactions. An example
of content included in the common for this reason is the battery of questions on problems
encountered when voting. Such problems occur at the frequency of about 2 or 3 percent, are
enough to present voting rights issues, but too small to be measured in standard surveys.

Sampling Methodology
The 2016 CCES survey was conducted over the Internet by YouGov. The Common Con-
tent was asked of 64,600 adults interviewed in October 2016 (for pre-election data), and
in November 2016 (for post-election data). The sampling method uses YouGov?s matched
random sample methodology.
Sampling and Sample Matching
Sample matching is a methodology for selection of “representative” samples from non-
randomly selected pools of respondents. It is ideally suited for Web access panels, but
could also be used for other types of surveys, such as phone surveys. Sample matching starts
with an enumeration of the target population. For general population studies, the target
population is all adults, and can be enumerated through the use of the decennial Census or
a high quality survey, such as the American Community Survey. In other contexts, this is
known as the sampling frame, though, unlike conventional sampling, the sample is not drawn
from the frame. Traditional sampling, then, selects individuals from the sampling frame at
random for participation in the study. This may not be feasible or economical as the contact
information, especially email addresses, is not available for all individuals in the frame and
refusals to participate increase the costs of sampling in this way.
Sample selection using the matching methodology is a two-stage process. First, a random
sample is drawn from the target population. We call this sample the target sample.
Details on how the target sample is drawn are provided below, but the essential idea is
that this sample is a true probability sample and thus representative of the frame from
which it was drawn. However, YouGov is not able to contact these individuals directly.
Therefore, the second step is that for each member of the target sample, we select one or more
matching members from our pool of opt-in respondents. This is called the matched sample.
Matching is accomplished using a large set of variables that are available in consumer and
voter databases for both the target population and the opt-in panel.
The purpose of matching is to find an available respondent who is as similar as possible to
the selected member of the target sample. The result is a sample of respondents who have
the same measured characteristics as the target sample. Under certain conditions, described
below, the matched sample will have similar properties to a true random sample. That is,
the matched sample mimics the characteristics of the target sample. It is, as far as we can
tell, representative of the target population (because it is similar to the target sample).
When choosing the matched sample, it is necessary to find the closest matching respondent
in the panel of opt-ins to each member of the target sample. Various types of matching
could be employed: exact matching, propensity score matching, and proximity matching.
12
Exact matching is impossible if the set of characteristics used for matching is large and,
even for a small set of characteristics, requires a very large panel (to find an exact match).
Propensity score matching has the disadvantage of requiring estimation of the propensity
score. Either a propensity score needs to be estimated for each individual study, so the
procedure is automatic, or a single propensity score must be estimated for all studies. If
large numbers of variables are used the estimated propensity scores can become unstable
and lead to poor samples.
YouGov employs the proximity matching method. For each variable used for matching,
we define a distance function, d(x,y), which describes how “close” the values x and y are
on a particular attribute. The overall distance between a member of the target sample
and a member of the panel is a weighted sum of the individual distance functions on each
attribute. The weights can be adjusted for each study based upon which variables are
thought to be important for that study, though, for the most part, we have not found the
matching procedure to be sensitive to small adjustments of the weights. A large weight, on
the other hand, forces the algorithm toward an exact match on that dimension.
Theoretical Background for Sample Matching
To understand better the sample matching methodology, it may be helpful to think of the
target sample as a simple random sample (SRS) from the target population. The SRS yields
unbiased estimates because the selection mechanism is unrelated to particular characteristics
of the population. The efficiency of the SRS can be improved by using stratified sampling
in place of simple random sampling. SRS is generally less efficient than stratified sampling
because the size of population subgroups varies in the target sample.
Stratified random sampling partitions the population into a set of categories that are be-
lieved to be more homogeneous than the overall population, called strata. For example, we
might divide the population into race, age, and gender categories. The cross-classification
of these three attributes divides the overall population into a set of mutually exclusive and
exhaustive groups or strata. Then an SRS is drawn from each category and the combined
set of respondents constitutes a stratified sample. If the number of respondents selected in
each strata is proportional to their frequency in the target population, then the sample is
self-representing and requires no additional weighting.
The intuition behind sample matching is analogous to stratified sampling: if respondents
who are similar on a large number of characteristics tend to be similar on other items for
which we lack data, then substituting one for the other should have little impact upon the
sample. This intuition can be made rigorous under certain assumptions.
Assumption 1: Ignorability. Panel participation is assumed to be ignorable with respect
to the variables measured by survey conditional upon the variables used for matching. What
this means is that if we examined panel participants and non-participants who have exactly
the same values of the matching variables, then on average there would be no difference
between how these sets of respondents answered the survey. This does not imply that panel
participants and non-participants are identical, but only that the differences are captured by
13
the variables used for matching. Since the set of data used for matching is quite extensive,
this is, in most cases, a plausible assumption.
Assumption 2: Smoothness. The expected value of the survey items given the variables
used for matching is a smooth function. Smoothness is a technical term meaning that the
function is continuously differentiable with bounded first derivative. In practice, this means
that that the expected value function does not have any kinks or jumps.
Assumption 3: Common Support. The variables used for matching need to have a
distribution that covers the same range of values for panelists and non-panelists. More
precisely, the probability distribution of the matching variables must be bounded away from
zero for panelists on the range of values (known as the support) taken by the non-panelists.
In practice, this excludes attempts to match on variables for which there are no possible
matches within the panel. For instance, it would be impossible to match on computer usage
because there are no panelists without some experience using computers.
Under Assumptions 1-3, it can be shown that if the panel is sufficiently large, then the
matched sample provides consistent estimates for survey measurements. The sampling vari-
ances will depend upon how close the matches are if the number of variables used for matching
is large. In this study, over 150,000 respondents to YouGov’s Internet surveys were used for
the pool from which to construct the matches for the final sample.
Sampling Frame and Target Sample
YouGov employed a combination of two frames. The first stage used a sampling frame of
U.S. Citizens from the the 2012 American Community survey, including data on age, race,
gender, education, marital status, number of children under 18, family income, employment
status, citizenship, state, and metropolitan area. The frame was constructed by stratified
sampling from the full 2012 ACS sample with selection within strata by weighted sampling
with replacement (using the person weights on the public use file). Data on congressional
districts was matched to this frame from Census tables. Data on voter registration status,
turnout, and vote choice was matched from the 2012 Current Population survey and 2012
national and state exit polls.
The second stage used a sampling frame of U.S. Citizens from the 2010 American Community
Survey with a similar set of variables. Data on reported 2010 voter registration and turnout
from the November 2010 Current Population Survey and on reported 2008 voter registration
and turnout from the November 2008 Current Population Survey was matched to this frame
using a weighted Euclidean distance metric. Data on religion, church attendance, born again
or evangelical status, news interest, party identification and ideology was matched from the
2007 Pew U.S. Religious Landscape Survey. The target sample was selected by stratification
by age, race, gender, education, and voter registration, and by simple random sampling
within strata.
14
Stratification and Matching
The sample drawn for the CCES were chosen from the YouGov Panel, along with the My-
Points, Research Now, SSI, and GMI panels using a five-way cross-classification (age x gender
x race x education x state). All respondents who completed the pre-election survey were
re-invited to the post-election survey. The final set of completed pre-election interviews
(numbering approximately 87,389, after quality controls were applied) were then matched
to the target frame, using a weighted Euclidean distances metric.
The following distance function was used for the match:
fmatch <- function(target, pool) {
25 * (abs(target$age - pool$age)/20) + #4
5 * (target$race3 != pool$race3) + #3
8 * (abs(target$educyrs - pool$educyrs)/4) + #2.5
10 * (I(target$educyrs == 10) != I(pool$educyrs == 10)) + #2.5
10 * (I(target$educyrs == 12) != I(pool$educyrs == 12)) + #2.5
2 * (I(target$educyrs < 14) * I(target$race3 != 1) != I(pool$educyrs < 14) * I(pool$race3 != 1)) +
4 * (target$gender != pool$gender) +
(mat.employ[target$employ, pool$employ]/3) +
(2 * mat.ideo5[target$ideo5, pool$ideo5]) +
(3 * mat.pid5b[target$pid5b, pool$pid5b]) +
1 * (mat.bornagain[target$bornagain, pool$bornagain]) +
2 * (I(target$ideo5 \%in\% c(1,5)) != I(pool$ideo5 \%in\% c(1,5))) +
15 * (target$votereg != pool$votereg) +
25 * (target$tookpost != pool$tookpost)
}
•Gender: respondent’s gender
•Age: respondent’s age in years
•Race3: categorical race variable with categories white/other, black, and Hispanic/Latino
•Educyrs: years of education
•Newsint: interest in politics

•Bornagain: evangelical or born again status
•Pid5b: baseline party identification (from July 2012) with categories, Democrat, Inde-
pendent leaning Democrat, Independent, Independent leaning Republican, Republican,
and other
•Ideo5: 5-point ideology
•Tookpost: respondent took both waves of the survey
For unordered variables, matrices of distances were used, as indicated above.

Weighting
For each team and the common content, the matched cases were then weighted to the
sampling frame using entropy balancing. The sample is weighted to adjust for any remaining
imbalance that exists among the matched sample. Such imbalance results from the fact
that the closest match for a particular individual from the target sample is not necessarily a
perfect match across all demographics. The matched cases and the frame were combined and
the combined cases were balanced on multiple moment conditions. The moment conditions
included age, gender, education, race, voter registration, ideology, baseline party ID, born
again status, political interest, plus their interactions. The resultant weights were then
post-stratified by age, gender, education, race, and voter registration status, as needed.
Additionally, for the common content, the weights were post-stratified across states and
statewide political races. Weights larger than 15 in the common content were trimmed and
the final weights normalized to equal sample size. The team data weights were trimmed at
7.
Using Weights
Note that the 2016 CCES Common Content includes weights for both the Pre Election
and Post Election waves of the study. We recommend the use of “commonweight vv post”
any time researchers use variables from the Post Election wave of the study. Otherwise,
researchers should use the “commonweight vv” variable to weight the data.
Note that the dataset also includes the weights “commonweight” and “commonweight post”.
These weights were calculated before the vote validation, and are therefore somewhat less
desirable than “commonweight vv post” and “commonweight vv”. Nevertheless, we include
them in the dataset for scholars who wish to replicate analyses they conducted with the data
posted prior to the vote validation.
Finally, “commonweight vv lgbt” should be used for any analyses that make use of variables
“sexuality” or “trans”.
Accuracy of the CCES Sample
The large sample of the CCES provides allows us to validate the sampling by comparing the
state level samples within the survey with the actual election results.
Comparison of the CCES with actual election results provides internal checks on the qual-
ity of the sample and responses. Specifically, we can aggregate (using the weights com-
monweights in the 2016 study) to the state level questions on vote for President (2016
CC16 410a), Governor (2016 CC16 411), U.S. Senator (2016 CC16 413c), and other statewide
offices (2016 CC16 413a and CC16 413b). The overall relationship between Democratic share
of the actual vote and Democratic share of the survey reported vote is shown in the Figures
1 - 5. For example, in Figure 1 we see the CCES estimate of the two-party vote for president
16
along with 95% confidence intervals constructed robust standard errors to account for the
sampling weights. For each state, the presidential vote estimate falls along the 45-degree line,
indicating that the CCES estimate of the presidential vote share is very close to the actual
vote share for that state. The subsequent plots show the same relationships for other offices.
In most cases, the actual two-party vote share falls within the 95% confidence intervals for
the CCES estimates.

Figure 1: Presidential Vote Accuracy Plot, 2016
The difference between the Democratic percent of the two party vote for each office in the
sample and the actual results measures the error. That error is due to sampling and to bias.
The simple difference is the Democratic party bias, the squared error is the mean squared
error, and the square root of the MSE is a measure of the standard error. The average (across
states) MSE, Root MSE, and Democratic Bias for each office are shown in Table 3. The
partisan bias in the sample is less than one percentage point for all offices except Secretary
of State. The Mean Squared Error is approximately the same size as the theoretically
derived Sampling Standard Error, indicating that there is no evidence of systematic bias or
of inflation of the precision of the estimates. The overall relationship between Democratic
share of the actual vote and Democratic share of the survey reported vote is shown in the
Figures 1-5. .

The square root of the Mean Squared Error is an alternative estimate of the standard error.
The usual estimate assumes that the only source of error comes from random sampling.
The variance of the error across surveys (in this case states) includes possible measurement
error, such as that caused by question wording, and sample biases, caused by non-response
or misreporting.

Part III
Common Content
A tabulation of responses for each of the variables in the dataset are provided here. Contex-
tual variables, i.e. variables that are not survey questions and were either added as text to fill
in questions or added later, are tabulated in Part IV. The only exception to this separation
is the vote validation variables, which we include in this section.
All counts are unweighted, raw counts. The tables distinguish between subtypes of missing
data: missing due to respondent skipping and missing due to the question not being asked to
the respondent (e.g. due to branching), although some inaccurate labeling within the missing
data category may exist. Please consult the questionnaire to see the branching structure of
the questions asked.
Variables with a warning mark ( ) are questions that were only asked of a non-random
subset of the sample. Please make a note of this when analyzing these variable.

Vote Validation
Individual records were matched to the Catalist database of registered voters in the United
States. Matching was performed in June, 2017. States have updated their vote history data
by May of the year following the election year. It should be noted that a record may not
be matched either because the individual is not registered to vote or because of incomplete
or inaccurate information that prevented a match. Matches are made only with records for
which there is a high level of confidence that the respondent is being assigned to the correct
record. However, even by setting a high threshold of confidence, there will still be some
false-positives which should be considered when using the validation records.
Among the CCES 2016 records that were matched to the voter files (i.e., were registered),
approximately 80 percent were determined to have voted in the 2016 General Election and
47 percent were determined to have voted in the 2016 Primary Elections.
There are three possible ways to measure turnout in the 2016 CCES using the validation
variables. Two use only the “E2016GVM” vote validation variable while the third uses
this variable in conjunction with self-reported registration (votereg post) and self-reported
turnout (CC16 401).
1. Un-matched as non-voters. The first specification defines voters as respondents
with a validated voting record no matter their mode of participation, and defines non-
voters as both matched non-voters and non-matched respondents. This specification
retains the integrity of the full CCES sample, no missing values are created. The jus-
tification for this approach is the fact that the most common reason that Catalist will
not have a record for an individual is because that individual is not registered to vote.
Indeed, rates of self-reported non-registration and non-voting are much higher among
un-matched respondents than among those for whom there is a match.
2. Only matched non-voters as non-voters. The second specification defines non-
voters as only matched non-voters. This specification reduces the CCES sample and
results in validated turnout estimates that are larger than those in the first specifica-
tion. However, this specification increases the level of certainty in the identification
of non-voters in the CCES, because there could possibly be actual voters among non-
matched respondents.
3. Matched non-voters and self-reported non-voters as non-voters. The third
specification defines non-voters as (1) matched non-voters, (2) non-matched respon-
dents who reported not being registered to vote in the “votereg post” question, and (3)
non-matched respondents who are self-reported non-voters in the “CC16 401” question.
This definition excludes non-matched respondents who are self-reported voters (these
individuals would be coded as missing). This definition assumes that self-reported
non-voters are honest about their non-participation because there is no incentive to go
against the democratic norm of participation.
