2008 ANES survey (and 2004)
Follow these links for the guides to the 2008 survey.
The survey consists of two different sets of interviews. People were interviewed both before and after the election. In your projects, you can choose to ignore these differences, or you can specifically choose survey questions from the pre or post survey.
