Concluding thoughts and future directions. 330 $aThe American National Election Studies (ANES) is the premier social science survey program devoted to voting and elections. Conducted during the presidential election years and midterm Congressional elections, the survey is based on interviews with voters and delves into why they make certain choices. In this edited volume, John Aldrich and Kathleen McGraw bring together a group of leading social scientists that developed and tested new measures that might be added to the ANES, with the ultimate goal of extending scholarly understanding of the causes and consequences of electoral outcomes. The contributors--leading experts from several disciplines in the fields of polling, public opinion, survey methodology, and elections and voting behavior--illuminate some of the most important questions and results from the ANES 2006 pilot study. They look at such varied topics as self-monitoring in the expression of political attitudes, personal values and political orientations, alternate measures of political trust, perceptions of similarity and disagreement in partisan groups, measuring ambivalence about government, gender preferences in politics, and the political issues of abortion, crime, and taxes. Testing new ideas in the study of politics and the political psychology of voting choices and turnout, this collection is an invaluable resource for all students and scholars working to understand the American electorate. 606 $aElection forecasting$zUnited States 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 606 $aElections$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 610 $a2006 ANES Pilot Study. 610 $aANES update. 610 $aANES. 610 $aAmerican National Election Studies. 610 $aOnline Commons. 610 $aabortion. 610 $acrime. 610 $aelections. 610 $agold standard. 610 $apersonality characteristics. 610 $apilot studies. 610 $apolitical attitudes. 610 $apolitical controversy. 610 $apolitical orientation. 610 $apolitical topics. 610 $apolitical trust. 610 $apublic opinion surveys. 610 $apublic opinion. 610 $aquestion battery. 610 $aquestionnaire design. 610 $aself-monitoring. 610 $asocial science survey. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asurvey design. 610 $asurvey research. 610 $ataxes. 610 $avoting behavior. 610 $avoting. 615 0$aElection forecasting 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aElections$xPublic opinion. 676 $a324.9730072/3 701 $aAldrich$b John Herbert$f1947-$0103445 701 $aMcGraw$b Kathleen M.$f1957-$01691262 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807669503321 996 $aImproving public opinion surveys$94067505 997 $aUNINA
