Politbarometer East 2008 (Cumulated Data Set, incl. Flash)

The Politbarometer has been conducted since 1977 on an almost monthly basis by the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen on behalf of the Second German Television (ZDF). Since 1990, this database has also been available for the new German states. The survey focuses on the opinions and attitudes of the voting-age population in the Federal Republic on current political issues, parties, politicians, and voting behavior. From 1990 to 1995 and from 1999 onward, the Politbarometer surveys were conducted separately both in the newly formed eastern and in the western German states (Politbarometer East and Politbarometer West). The separate monthly surveys of a year are integrated into a cumulative data set that includes all surveys of a year and all variables of the respective year. Starting in 2003, the Politbarometer short surveys, collected with varying frequency throughout the year, are integrated into the annual cumulation.

政治晴雨表（Politbarometer）自1977年起由选举研究小组（Forschungsgruppe Wahlen）受德国电视二台（ZDF）委托，以近乎月度的频次持续开展调研。1990年起，该数据库亦面向德国新联邦州开放。本次调研聚焦德意志联邦共和国适龄投票群体对当前政治议题、政党、政客及投票行为的看法与态度。1990年至1995年以及1999年之后，政治晴雨表调研均分别在德国东部新州与西部州独立开展，分为东部政治晴雨表与西部政治晴雨表。将某一年度内的全部独立月度调研整合为累积数据集，该数据集涵盖该年度所有调研内容与对应年份的全部变量。2003年起，全年以不同频次开展的政治晴雨表简短调研亦被纳入年度累积数据集。
