Type: dataset
Abstract: The dataset was generated by a study titled “The Electoral College in the American Mind,” the purpose of which was to better understand people’s thoughts and feelings about the Electoral College. The study’s survey instrument was a questionnaire that posed thirty Electoral College-themed questions: twenty-eight of the questions were written in a multiple-choice format; two were written in an open-ended format. The dataset consists of the aggregate responses to the former, cross-tabulated by the respondents’ demographic characteristics. The study was administered online by a national firm, SurveyUSA, from September 13, 2024, through September 17, 2024. Using a web-based format, SurveyUSA administered the study’s questionnaire to 1,500 adults in the United States, using a non-probability sample provided by Lucid Holdings LLC of New Orleans. The pool of adult survey respondents was weighted to US Census American Community Survey targets for gender, age, race, education, and home ownership.
