euandi (Allgemeine Bevölkerungsbefragung) - User Profiles in the 2014 European Elections

euandi is the first “Social VAA” ever developed. Available in 24 languages, it invites users to react to 28 policy statements covering a wide range of contemporary policy issues and political values in European politics, as well as to two policy statements specific to the user’s national political context. During the six weeks before the election – that is, between April 16, when the website was launched, and May 25, when polling stations in all EU countries closed down – the euandi website attracted 1.186.744 users. The user dataset only includes those users who completed the entire questionnaire. In order to avoid duplicates (i.e., same users filling the questionnaire several times), the dataset only includes the answers provided to the first questionnaire by each user. The total amount of entries in the euandi user dataset corresponds to 399.882 unique user sessions. Variables include: users' position on 30 political issues, perceived saliency of each issue, basic socio-demographic information (age, geneder, education level), geo-location (NUTS-3 level), propensity to vote for national parties, matching-score with parties in the whole EU28
