  • "Since events which can affect a campaign may take place at any time, it is desirable to be monitoring the electorate on a continuous basis. Hence, Continuous Monitoring has been in the field since January 11th, 1984. That start date was chosen to give a number of interviews before the stimulus of the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primaries. Monitoring continued past the election day, with the last interview taken on December 7th. The study includes 46 small cross sections, each cross section sample assigned to a different sample "week." The desired sample average size is 75 interviews. The interviews are taken on the telephone; respondents are selected by Random Digit Dialing. Because of the difficulty of obtaining an adequate response rate in a short period of time, the sample "week" is actually 17 days. The goal is to take two-thirds (50) of the interviews in the first 7 days, with a 10 day grace period for picking up the remaining 15 interviews. The documentation describes variables which distinguish the sample week."
  • "For the Continuous monitoring portion of the data, 46 separate cross-section samples were selected by a random digit dialing design, and an average of 76 respondents were interviewed in each of the 46 sample "weeks." A total of 3,496 interviews were thus conducted for the Continuous monitoring study. Each telephone number selected generated a labelled coversheet with number of calls, household composition, final disposition and so forth."
  • "This is the eighteenth in a series of studies of American national elections produced by the Political Behavior Program of the Survey Research Center and the Center for Political Studies (CPS). The study has 2 components. The first component is Continuous Monitoring, January 11, 1984-December 31, 1984. Its aim was to examine the impact of the election campaign on voters' perceptions, beliefs, and preferences."

  • "For the Pre- and post-election survey, interviews were conducted in person prior to the 1984 election, with respondents culled from 45 primary areas of the 1980 NORC/SRC sampling frame. Half of the respondents were randomly assigned to be re-interviewed in person, and the other half to be re-interviewed by telephone using a shortened version of the questionnaire."
  • "The aim of Continous monitoring was to examine the impact of the election campaign on voters' perceptions, beliefs, and preferences. Respondents were asked about their involvement and interest in the campaign, whether and how they voted, the nature and extent of contact with their U.S. representative, and about their knowledge of the issue positions held by candidates for Congress. A number of questions dealt with President Reagan's performance in office. In addition, the respondents were asked to evaluate both Reagan's and Mondale's personal qualities and their own feelings toward them."
  • "This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952. 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. Part 1 of this collection contains the traditional Pre- and Post-Election Survey (ICPSR Version). Interviews were conducted in person prior to the 1984 election. In the post-election wave, half of the respondents were randomly assigned to be reinterviewed in person, and the other half to be reinterviewed by telephone using a shortened version of the questionnaire. In addition to the standard core questions, new topic areas (most of which had been piloted in 1983) included measures of "predispositions" such as economic individualism and egalitarianism, and group identification items. Vote validation data also are provided. Part 2, Continuous Monitoring: January 11, 1984, Through December 31, 1984, was designed to examine the impact of the election campaign on voters' perceptions, beliefs, and preferences. Respondents were questioned about their knowledge of the candidates' stands on the issues, about their own stand on the issues, and about their opinions and evaluations of the candidates. Interviews were conducted by telephone throughout the year, with a total of 46 separate cross-section samples selected by a random-digit dialing design, and an average of 76 respondents interviewed in each of the 46 sample weeks. Although the survey instrument was very much the same from one sample week to the next, some questions were deleted and others added during the course of the campaign, as issues became more or less relevant. Thirteen versions of the questionnaire were incorporated into this data file. For each telephone number selected in the Continuous Monitoring Study administrative information is included, such as number of calls, household composition, and final disposition."

  • "This data collection is another in the long series of national election studies produced by the Political Behavior Program of the Survey Research Center (SRC) and the Center for Political Studies (CPS). The 1984 Election Study has two components. The first component is the Pre- and Post-Election Survey. In this component interviews were conducted in person prior to the 1984 election with 2257 respondents from 45 primary areas of the 1980 NORC/SRC sampling frame. For the post-election wave, half of the respondents were randomly assigned to be re-interviewed in person, and the other half to be re-interviewed by telephone using a shortened version of the questionnaire. In total, 1,990 respondents were included in the post-election survey. The focus of the survey was the 1984 Presidential election. Respondents were asked about their involvement and interest in the campaign, whether and how they voted, the nature and extent of contact with their United States Representative, and about their knowledge of issue positions held by candidates for Congress. A number of questions dealt with President Reagan's performance in office. In addition, the respondents were asked to evaluate both Reagan's and Mondale's personal qualities and their own feelings toward them."
  • "(Continued) and the day on which the interview was conducted. The survey instrument was intended to be very much the same from one sample week to the next. At the same time, the design allows for the addition of new questions as campaign events make necessary, and for deletion of questions no longer relevant as the campaign unfolds. From time to time, it did prove necessary to add and delete questions. Each time one such change took place, a new version was created. Thirteen versions are incorporated in the present release. The INAP codes for each variable clearly indicate for which version(s) the question was asked. Also, the Questions and Versions list summarizes the changes which took place, by question and variable number."
  • "This is the 18th in a series of studies of American national elections. It consists of 2 components in 3 files. The first component is called Continuous monitoring, Jan. 11, 1984-Dec. 31, 1984. The aim of Continuous monitoring was to examine the impact of the election campaign on voters' perceptions, beliefs, and preferences. The Field administration file (File [2]) supplements Continuous monitoring, but cannot be merged with it. It is a a record of coversheets containing administrative history."
