Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey (CMPS), 2008

The 2008 Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey (CMPS) is a national telephone survey of registered voters, with comparably large samples of African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and Whites. The telephone survey, conducted between November 9, 2008 and January 5, 2009, is the first multiracial and multilingual survey of registered voters across multiple states and regions in a presidential election. In contrast to the 2008 American National Election Study (ANES) which oversampled Black and Latino voters, and was available in Spanish, the CMPS was available in six languages and contains robust samples of the four largest racial/ethnic groups: Whites, Latinos, Blacks, Asians. The CMPS contains 4,563 respondents who registered to vote in the November 2008 election and who self-identified as Asian, Black, Latino, and White. The survey was available in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Vietnamese and respondents were offered the opportunity to interview in their language of choice. The six states that were sampled to produced robust samples of all four major racial groups include California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, and New Jersey, and the statewide samples range from 243 to 669 cases. In order to arrive at more nationally representative samples of each minority group, the study added two supplemental states per racial group, including Arizona and New Mexico (Latinos), North Carolina and Georgia (Blacks), Hawaii and Washington (Asians). Of these 12 states, 3 were considered political battlegrounds in the 2008 Presidential electorate -- New Mexico, Florida, and North Carolina. In order to examine multi-racial politics in competitive and non-competitive environments, the study supplemented the sample with six additional diverse battleground states: Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. As of the 2008 election, two-thirds of the national electorate was concentrated in these 18 states. For Latinos, 92 percent of all registered voters reside in these states; 87 percent of Asian Americans; and 66 percent of Blacks, and 61 percent of Whites. The November 2008 CMPS provides estimates of the registered voter population by race, age, gender, and education level which was applied to the sample, by racial group, so that the distributions match those of the Census on these important demographic categories. In the study, there are 51 items dealing with sociopolitical attitudes, mobilization and political activity. Additionally, there are 21 items that capture demographic information, including: age, ancestry, birthplace, education, ethnicity, marital status, number in the household, religiosity, gender, media usage and residential context.

《2008年跨种族选举后合作调查》（CMPS）是一项针对登记选民的国家电话调查，调查样本包括大量非裔美国人、亚裔美国人、拉丁裔和欧洲裔美国人。该电话调查于2008年11月9日至2009年1月5日进行，是首次针对总统选举中多州和地区登记选民的多种族和多语言调查。与2008年美国国家选举研究（ANES）相比，后者对黑人和拉丁裔选民进行了过采样，并提供了西班牙语版本，而CMPS提供了六种语言版本，并包含四个最大种族/民族群体的稳健样本：欧洲裔美国人、拉丁裔、黑人和亚洲裔。CMPS包含4,563名受访者，他们在2008年11月选举中登记投票，并自我认定为亚洲裔、黑人、拉丁裔和欧洲裔。调查提供英语、西班牙语、普通话、粤语、韩语和越南语版本，并允许受访者在他们选择的语言中进行访谈。样本选取的六个州包括加利福尼亚州、德克萨斯州、纽约州、佛罗里达州、伊利诺伊州和新泽西州，全州样本量从243至669个案例不等。为了获得每个少数族裔群体的更具全国代表性的样本，研究在每个种族群体中增加了两个补充州，包括亚利桑那州和新墨西哥州（拉丁裔）、北卡罗来纳州和乔治亚州（黑人）、夏威夷州和华盛顿州（亚洲裔）。在这12个州中，有3个在2008年总统选举中被视为政治争夺战州——新墨西哥州、佛罗里达州和北卡罗来纳州。为了考察竞争和非竞争环境中的多种族政治，研究在样本中增加了六个额外的多样化争夺战州：科罗拉多州、密歇根州、内华达州、俄亥俄州、宾夕法尼亚州和弗吉尼亚州。截至2008年选举，全国选民中的三分之二集中在这些18个州。对于拉丁裔而言，92%的登记选民居住在这些州；亚裔美国人的87%；黑人的66%；以及欧洲裔美国人的61%。2008年11月的CMPS通过对样本按种族、年龄、性别和教育水平进行估计，将注册选民人口数据应用于各个种族群体，以确保这些重要人口统计类别的分布与人口普查数据相匹配。在该研究中，有51个项目涉及社会政治态度、动员和政治活动。此外，还有21个项目捕捉人口统计信息，包括：年龄、血统、出生地、教育、种族、婚姻状况、家庭人口数量、宗教信仰、性别、媒体使用和居住环境。
