Guide to the 2016 Views of the Electorate Research Survey AUGUST 2017 About the Voter Study Group The Democracy Fund Voter Study Group is a new research collaboration of nearly 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 (Ethics and Public Policy Center), John Sides (The George Washington University), and Joe Goldman (Democracy Fund) convened a politically diverse group of conservative, progressive, and independent public opinion experts to study the electorate together. The group sought not to achieve consensus, but to engage in discussion about how the views of the electorate are evolving and what the implications of those changes may be. As a newly formed collaborative, the group first reviewed existing research and identified additional questions that require study. The VOTER Survey (Views of the Electorate Research Survey) is the study group’s first original research. 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. The Voter Study Group is funded by a grant from the Democracy Fund to the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC).

Pantoja Ruy Teixeira Kristen Soltis Anderson Ismail White David Winston Guide to the 2016 Views of the Electorate Research Survey—Data Release No. 1 | www.voterstudygroup.org 1 Methodology The Views of the Electorate Research (VOTER) Survey was conducted by the survey firm YouGov. In total, 8,000 adults (age 18+) with internet access took the survey on-line between November 29 and December 29, 2016. The reported margin of error is plus or minus 2.2%. 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. These respondents were originally 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 November election, 35,408 respondents were interviewed a third time. For this survey 11,168 panelists from 2012 CCAP were invited to respond and 8,637 of them (77%) completed the 2016 survey. 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.

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.
