Data and documentation - Politbarometer

. m.

The Politbarometer surveys are available in two different forms:

• Annual cumulation

This data set comprises the results of all monthly polls conducted in one year (current version). All variables used during that particular year are reflected in the data (study profiles).

From 1990 through 1995 and 1999 to 2005 the Politbarometer surveys were conducted separately in the "New" and "Old" Federal States. The results are available as a "Politbarometer - East" and a "Politbarometer - West" record for the relevant year.

Politbarometer polls additionally designated as election surveys in the survey profile are included in the "German elections" database.

Data and documentation of the annual cumulations are accessible and downloadable via ZACAT

• Time series

The recent time series comprises a selection of 80 variables covering the entire 1977-2005 period. The issues reflected in this time series are presented as an overview and documented for each variable with the codebook. The dataset (study profile) is updated continuously and included on the Politbarometer CD-ROM.

The CD-ROM and the recent time series can be ordered via our online order for
