Australian Election Study, 1987-2019 Trends

The tables in this excel file can be used to produce graphs on Australian politics, without the need to conduct analyses separately on the Australian Election Study (AES) data files for individual years. The tables in this file match the charts contained in the report, Trends in Australian Political Opinion: Results from the Australian Election Study 1987-2019 (Cameron and McAllister 2019). The tables also break down these trends by gender, age group, education level, and vote in the House of Representatives, as presented graphically in the AES interactive charts, available on the AES website. AES question items are included where there is time series data spanning at least three elections. The tables are grouped into eleven themes, including: 1) The election campaign; 2) Voting and partisanship; 3) Election issues; 4) The economy; 5) Politics and political parties; 6) The left-right dimension; 7) The political leaders; 8) Democracy and institutions; 9) Trade unions, business and wealth; 10) Social issues; and 11) Defence and foreign affairs.

本Excel文件中的表格可用于制作澳大利亚政治相关图表，无需针对各年度的澳大利亚选举研究（Australian Election Study, AES）数据文件单独开展分析。本文件中的表格与《澳大利亚政治舆论趋势：1987-2019年澳大利亚选举研究结果》（Cameron与McAllister，2019）报告中收录的图表完全匹配。这些表格还可按性别、年龄组、教育水平以及众议院投票情况进行细分，对应澳大利亚选举研究官网提供的AES交互式图表中的可视化呈现形式。仅收录拥有覆盖至少三次选举的时间序列数据的AES问卷条目。本数据集的表格共分为11个主题，分别为：1）选举竞选活动；2）投票与党派倾向；3）选举议题；4）经济状况；5）政治与政党；6）左右翼政治光谱；7）政治领导人；8）民主与制度；9）工会、商业与财富；10）社会议题；11）国防与外交事务。
