Cooperative Election Studies (multi-university consortium) · YouGov

The Cooperative Congressional Election Study is a large annual national survey on politics and public opinion, run online by YouGov. This entry is a 33-variable teaching extract of the 2016 wave — issue positions on guns, abortion, immigration, and gay marriage, plus party ID, ideology, vote choice, and religion — redistributed by Ryan Burge (github.com/ryanburge). It carries 870 Latter-day Saint respondents, enough to compare LDS answers against every other religious tradition and the religiously unaffiliated side by side, not just against the sample as a whole.
