These data were collected through interviews conducted with voters in 50 states and the District of Columbia, as they left their polling places on Election Day, November 7, 2000. Part 1, National Data, contains data collected from a national sample. National sample respondents were asked a series of questions about their electoral choices, the issues surrounding the elections, and the factors that influenced their decisions. Questions focused on the direction of the country, the state and future of the nation's economy, the federal budget surplus, the investment of Social Security funds in the stock market, tax cuts, prescription drug coverage for the elderly, and the legacy of the Clinton presidency. Background information on national respondents includes age, race, gender, Hispanic descent, age of children in household, marital status, political party, political orientation, employment status, education, religion, and family income. Parts 2-52 contain data collected from the individual state and District of Columbia surveys. Telephone surveys were conducted in Oregon, as well as with absentee/early voters in California and Washington. Respondents were asked for their opinions of President Bill Clinton and the United States Congress, as well as for their vote choices in the relevant gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional elections. Those queried were also asked whether they supported state-specific proposals, such as a state lottery in South Carolina, a state income tax in New Hampshire, and school vouchers in California and Michigan. Background information on individual state respondents includes age, race, gender, education, voter participation history, political party, political orientation, and family income.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03527.v2
