With the U.S. midterms approaching, I found myself returning to one of my favourite topics in political science: partisanship.

Have Americans become more partisan? I created three animated charts from 70+ years of ANES data (@electionstudies) to visualize what research tells us.

Showcasing @electionstudies 2024 data on @CNN @CNNTheStoryIs this week to highlight things on which people agree. We hear so much about disagreement, @Elex_Michaelson & I thought it’d be nice to hear about agreement for a change!

[American National Election Studies (ANES) @electionstudies]

The American National Election Studies wants to hear from you. Take a short survey that will inform our future planning.

Given the debate about the Democratic congressional delegation's ideological movement--maybe useful to see just how far left Democratic people have shifted in the last 15 years--especially on race and economics.

It includes more than 2,000 respondents who answered the pre- and post-election surveys in each election. In addition, it includes responses from panel maintenance surveys in 2019, 2022, and 2024.

Enjoy these ANES panel data!

ANES Data Release! https://t.co/pyraGPqqyM...

The 3-wave ANES panel is now available. It merges data from 3 election studies (2016-2020-2024), the first time the ANES has collected interviews of the same respondents across 3 presidential elections.

[Tom Wood @thomasjwood]

Cool application of these @electionstudies data in the @nytimes today...

but I still prefer the static version!

[Tom Wood @thomasjwood]

Might be of interest to those teaching American politics -- motivated reasoning in retrospective economic/personal/geostrategic evaluation has been a stable part of presidential elections for 40 years.

So much talk of political violence in the headlines these days, but what do the ANES 2024 Time Series data say?

[John Horvick @horvick]

The ANES project provides these tools as a resource for political observers, students, teachers, social scientists, journalists, policymakers, and the general public. We're glad to have been able to update these interactive tools with new data ahead of the new academic semester.

[American National Election Studies (ANES) @electionstudies]

We're pleased to announce that our three data exploration and visualization tools have been updated with data from the Full Release of the ANES 2024 Time Series Study.

[American National Election Studies (ANES) @electionstudies]

The third, the ANES Continuity Guide, offers a comprehensive list of ANES questions, organized thematically. For each question, the tool displays every year in which the question appeared in the Time Series, beginning in 1952.
