ANES 1962 Time Series Study

This study is part of a time-series collection of national
surveys fielded continuously since 1948. The election studies are
designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring
political predispositions, social and political values, perceptions
and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of
public policy, and participation in political life. The ANES 1962 Time Series Study is a traditional time series study, conducted face-to-face after the congressional election. The data were collected as part of the Survey Research Center Economic Behavior Program's Fall Omnibus Survey, which was designed to measure consumer confidence and optimism but also included questions in other areas such as political behavior and political attitudes. The questionnaire used served both the 1962 ANES and the Fall Omnibus, but the 1962 ANES excluded questions that were specifically gathered for the EBP survey alone. In addition to content on electoral participation, voting behavior, and public opinion, the 1962 ANES includes items on partisanship, government enforcement of school integration, and financial and business conditions.
