American National Election Study

The American National Election Study (ANES) is a comprehensive research project that surveys voters and political attitudes in the U.S. to understand election behavior, public opinion, and political trends. Conducted regularly since 1948, it collects detailed information on citizens' beliefs, preferences, and experiences related to elections and politics. Researchers use ANES data to analyze how factors like media, policies, and demographics influence voting and political opinions, providing insights that help explain American political dynamics over time.
