Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey (CMPS), United States, 2016

web-based surveyETHNIC_QUOTA was a variable used in the data collection only, so that the data collection vendor could assign cases towards the quota targets of each racial group towards the counts. The Principal Investigators do not necessarily recommend using this variable for analysis, rather they recommend scholars use the self-reported race and ethnicity of respondents to create their own estimates for race. However, the ethnic quota variable can be used, but this variable assigns each respondent a primary race/ethnicity group, again, just for the purposes of the quota count.The restricted-use dataset contains geographical information which has been masked in the public-use dataset. The variables ZIPCODE and C342 contain zip codes, and CITY_NAME and C347_CITY contain the name of cities. The day-in-date for INTERVIEW_START, INTERVIEW_END, and TIME_304 has been recoded to the first of the month in the public-use dataset but is preserved in the restricted-use dataset.For additional information on the Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey, please visit the CMPS website.This collection is related to the following studies: Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey (CMPS), 2012, ICPSR 37132 Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey (CMPS), 2008, ICPSR 35163
