New Russia Barometer XII, December 2003

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>Since the spring of 1991, the CSPP has been involved in more than 100 nationwide sample surveys in post-Communist countries. Each round of surveys asks a common core of questions, a unique source for monitoring trends within nations, and comparisons across nations. All research questions and analyses are undertaken independently of government. The <i>New Russia Barometer Surveys</i> (NRB) comprise one series within the CSPP surveys. They have been conducted annually since 1992, and consist of interviews with a stratified representative nationwide sample of Russian adults. The interviews last approximately one hour, and collect information about political, economic and social attitudes and behaviour.

<br><br>The twelfth NRB survey (NRB XII) was a nationwide representative sample survey conducted immediately after the Duma election in December, 2003. As is appropriate to a post-election survey, many questions focused on campaign activities and voting behaviour. Questions about President Putin and potential candidates for the presidential election in March 2004 are also included. Given that half the seats in the Duma are elected from single-member districts by a very different ballot than the headlined list system, detailed questions were also asked about how individuals cast both votes. A number of standard NRB trend questions were also included.<br>
<br><br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br>Topics covered included: opinions on political events and economic and political progress of the country; assessments of the performance of politicians and electoral candidates; trust in the political system and election campaigns; role of the media in electoral campaigns; voting intentions and voting behaviour; political allegiance; relations between former Soviet Union countries; relations with other countries, and the European Union; opinion on war in Iraq; and demographic details of respondent.

自1991年春季以来，CSPP已在后共产主义转型国家开展了百余次全国性抽样调查。每一轮调查均设置统一核心议题，为追踪一国国内的发展趋势以及开展跨国比较提供了独一无二的权威数据来源。所有研究议题与分析均独立于政府主导开展，不受行政干预。

《新俄罗斯晴雨表调查》（New Russia Barometer Surveys，缩写NRB）是CSPP调查项目旗下的核心系列之一，该系列自1992年起每年开展一次，采用分层抽样方法选取具有全国代表性的俄罗斯成年人群作为受访对象，访谈时长约一小时，采集信息涵盖受访者的政治、经济与社会态度及行为模式。更多详细信息可访问CSPP官方发布的《新俄罗斯晴雨表》专题网页：http://www.cspp.strath.ac.uk/catalog1_0.html。

第十二届NRB调查（NRB XII）于2003年12月俄罗斯国家杜马选举结束后即刻开展，属于全国代表性抽样调查。作为典型选后追踪调查，本次调查核心议题围绕竞选活动与选民投票行为展开，同时设置了有关俄罗斯总统普京以及2004年3月总统选举潜在候选人的相关议题。鉴于俄罗斯国家杜马半数席位通过单人选区直选产生，其投票规则与政党名单比例代表制存在显著差异，本次调查还设置了详细议题，询问受访者如何为两类席位投出各自选票。此外，本次调查还纳入了若干标准NRB系列的趋势追踪议题，以保障数据纵向可比性。

**核心研究议题**：本次调查涵盖的议题包括：对国内政治事件及国家经济、政治发展态势的看法；对政客与选举候选人履职表现的评价；对国家政治体系与选举活动的信任程度；媒体在选举活动中发挥的作用；投票意向与实际投票行为；政治立场倾向；前苏联加盟共和国间的双边关系；俄罗斯与其他国家及欧盟的外交关系；对伊拉克战争的态度；以及受访者的人口统计学详细信息。
