title: Afrobarometer: Round I Survey of Nigeria, January-February 2000
title: Version 1

description: The Afrobarometer project assesses attitudes toward democracy, markets, and civil society in several sub-Saharan African nations. This survey of Nigeria recorded Nigerian citizens' opinions about social issues and about recent political and economic changes within their country. Respondents were asked to rate how satisfied they felt with their lives presently and to give their overall assessment of the performance of the current government. They also rated how well the current government was handling problems such as creating jobs, keeping prices low, narrowing the income gap between rich and poor, and fighting government corruption. Respondents were also queried about their interest in politics, how often they discussed politics with other people, and whether they could name various government officials. Respondents were asked to rate the importance of certain aspects of a democracy such as majority rule, freedom to criticize the government, and regular elections. Respondents also rated how much they trusted fellow citizens such as relatives, neighbors, members of their tribe, members of other tribes, and Nigerian President Obassanjo, as well as how much they trusted institutions such as traditional rulers, local government authorities, the police, the courts, and others. They were also asked to rate how much they trusted social institutions such as churches, mosques, trade unions, banks, and businesses. Opinions were elicited on how often Nigerians broke the law by engaging in such acts as throwing rubbish in public places, disregarding traffic signs and lights, selling goods without a trader's license, evading income taxes, not paying for services like piped water, and offering bribes to public servants. Demographic variables include political party affiliation, income level, number of children under 18 in household, gender, age, education, religion, and occupation.

title: Israeli Election Study, 1977
title: Version 2

description: This election study was conducted in four phases. The first three were fielded prior to the May 17, 1977 Knesset (Israeli parliament) election and the June 21, 1977, Histadrut (Israeli trade union) election. The fourth and final phase was a post-election survey. In March 1977 a first round of interviews was held after the Labor Party's Convention that elected Yitzhak Rabin as party leader. The April survey was conducted after Rabin's resignation and his replacement by Shimon Peres. The last round of pre-election interviews was held in May. The post-election survey was conducted at the end of June. The surveys examined voters' opinions on different parties and on national issues, such as security, peace, the electoral system, corruption, and Israel's economy. The pre-election surveys sought voters' evaluations of the various party platforms and the parties' chances for election, while the post-election survey queried respondents for their reactions to the Likud Party's election and their party choices. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, political party, education, religion, marital/family status, observance of religious traditions, household income, social class membership, employment status, respondent's and respondent's father's place of birth, and characteristics of living conditions.

title: Israeli Election Study, 1984
title: Version 1

description: This election study was carried out in one panel during July 8-12, 1984, days before the elections for the Knesset. The study investigates attitudes toward the upcoming election, the current state of Israeli affairs, the question of territorial concessions for Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip, and the presence of ethnic discrimination in Israel. Respondents were asked which political party they believed was best suited to address the challenges of the economy, defense, foreign affairs, and the democratic state. Their views were also sought on which political party--Alignment or Likud--was characterized by experienced leaders, represented minorities, represented the Jewish population, would stand firm in peace negotiations, knew how to withdraw from Lebanon while maintaining the Northern border, would reduce the ethnic gap, and would maintain a democratic regime. In addition, respondents were asked which political party they blamed for the problems of violence, emigration from Israel, high inflation, corruption, crime, and the ethnic gap. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, education, religion, voter participation history, ethnicity, political party membership, political orientation, social class, place of birth, father's place of birth, employment status, monthly expenditures, number of rooms in the home, and number of people living in the home.

title: Israeli Election Study, 1988
title: Version 1

description: This election study was conducted in two phases. The respondents were first surveyed December 1987-January 1988, ten months before the elections for the Knesset (Israeli parliament). The same respondents were reinterviewed in October 1988, a few days prior to the elections for the Knesset. The first round of the survey investigated attitudes toward national agenda issues, political parties and candidates, political trends, and voting patterns of the respondents and their families. Also explored were respondents' attitudes toward the use of atomic weapons, the peace process, enemies of the state of Israel, the Israeli defense budget and agenda, relations with the United States, personal liberties, and limits to freedom of speech. The second round of the survey investigated respondent attitudes toward various statements on social and state matters such as democracy and minorities. Other questions included election predictions of the respondents and their families, the decision to cancel football matches on the Sabbath, and the value placed on a Jewish majority state, greater Israel, a democratic state, and a state of peace. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, political orientation, education, observance of religious traditions, employment status, household income, place of birth, marital/family status, military status, and voter participation history.

title: Israeli Election Study, 1999
title: Version 1

description: This election study was carried out in two panels. Part 1, Pre-Election Survey, was fielded July 8-12, 1999, prior to the elections for the Knesset and Prime Minister held May 17, 1999, while Part 2, Post-Election Survey, was fielded May 21-27, 1999. Part 1 of the study investigates the state of Israel and the upcoming elections. Given a list of candidates including Benjamin Nethanyahu, Ehud Barak, Itzhak Mordechai, Beni Begin, and Azmi Bashara, respondents were asked whose position best reflected their own views on peace and safety, socioeconomic policy, religious tension, and foreign affairs and security. Respondents were also asked to assess the influence of the following issues on their Knesset voting decisions: Jerusalem, the economy, security policy, social policy, state vs. religion, Lebanon, peace and the territories, Palestinian terrorism, and the corruption trial of Shas party leader Aryeh Deri. A series of questions addressed whether the Israeli government should increase or decrease government expenditures on education, ecology and the environment, religious institutions and Yeshivot, health, security, immigration absorption, assisting the unemployed, settlements in the territories, the Arab sector, supplying jobs, and roads and road accidents. Additional topics covered the extent to which respondents followed media coverage of the election, how political advertisements influenced their opinions, and for whom they would vote if the election were held that day. Part 2, Post-Election Survey, investigates respondents' electoral decisions and the reasons for their choices. Their views were sought on the focus of the 1999 elections: secular-religious relations, negotiations with the Palestinians, why Barak won, and why Nethanyahu lost. Respondents were asked to assess their trust in political parties, the media, state advocacy, the police, and the supreme court. Additional topics covered public support for democracy in Israel, and the establishment of the Palestinian state. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, education, religion, voter participation history, ethnicity, political party membership, political orientation, social class, place of birth, father's place of birth, employment status, monthly expenditures, military service record, number of rooms in the home, and number of people living in the home.
