National Elections Study (NES)

The National Election Study (NES) is a long-term research project that collects detailed data on American voters’ opinions, behaviors, and attitudes during election seasons. Conducted periodically, it involves surveys and interviews to understand voter preferences, political knowledge, and demographic factors. The NES helps researchers and policymakers analyze trends over time, assess the impact of campaigns and issues, and understand how different groups participate in democracy. By providing comprehensive data, it contributes to a deeper understanding of the American political landscape and voter dynamics.
