The American National Election Study (ANES): 2016 Pilot Study sought to test new instrumentation under consideration for potential inclusion in the ANES 2016 Time Series Study, as well as future ANES studies. Much of the content is based on proposals from the ANES user community submitted through the Online Commons page, found on the ANES home page. The survey included questions about preferences in the presidential primary, stereotyping, the economy, discrimination, race and racial consciousness, police use of force, and numerous policy issues, such as immigration law, health insurance, and federal spending. It was conducted on the Internet using the YouGov panel, an international market research firm that administers polls that collect information about politics, public affairs, products, brands, as well as other topics of general interest.

The British Election Study, 2005: Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) dataset forms part of the CSES programme of collaborative research among election study teams from around the world. The research agenda, questionnaires, and study design are developed by an international committee of leading scholars of electoral politics and political science. The design is implemented in each country by leading social scientists. Participating countries include a common module of survey questions in their post-election studies. The resulting data are combined with voting, demographic, district and macro variables, and each country's data is then merged into a single, free, public dataset for use in comparative research.

The BES 2005 CSES data were gathered via an internet survey carried out by YouGov plc. The survey was conducted after the 5 May 2005 general election, between 16 and 31 May. Nearly 90% of the interviews were completed between 16 and 18 May.

Further information about the international programme may be found on the CSES web site.

Prince William and Princess Catherine were the most popular members of the British Royal Family, according to a survey conducted among adults in Great Britain in February 2025. By contrast, Prince Andrew was by far the least-popular member of the Royal Family with just seven percent of those surveyed having a positive opinion of him. What have been the biggest swings in popularity? In the last years of her reign, the Queen was generally viewed in a positive light by the British public, despite some significant swings in opinion for other members of the Royal Family. In particular, Prince Harry, previously once one of the most popular members of the Royal Family, has seen the share of Britons who view him favorably fall from 71 percent in 2019, to just 25 percent by May 2023. The current monarch, King Charles III, gradually became more popular during a similar time period, with 66 percent viewing him positively in February 2024, compared with 58 percent in 2020. Support for the monarchy in Britain While support for the monarchy has certainly had its ups and downs, it remains a very popular British institution, with approximately 65 percent of Britons supporting its continuation as of 2024. This support is heavily correlated with age, as older age groups being far more likely to support the monarchy than younger ones. In 2024, for example, just 35 percent of 18 to 24-year-old's supported the monarchy, compared with 82 percent of those aged 65 or over. In fact, a plurality of younger British adults thought that the monarchy should be replaced with an elected head of state, with this particular scenario supported by a quarter of Britons overall.

The survey is the first high income country survey designed to fully operationalise the freedom aspect of the capabilities approach based on Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum’s theoretical frameworks to welfare economics and political theory. In particular, the researchers sought to focus on the measurement of adult capabilities across a wide range of life domains delivering to a sample of approximately 1000 adults with the aid of YOUGOV, a UK based opinion polling and market research company specialising in the use of on-line panels.

The survey instrument has been translated into Spanish and is potentially suitable for replication in other countries or with different populations (this is not available at the UK Data Archive). Some of the questions are also potentially suitable for selection and incorporation into studies where understanding opportunities and constraints is important.
Further information about these can be obtained from the project website
The Capabilities Measurement Project.


Main Topics:

The main topics include: opportunities; abilities and constraints in areas that include health; bodily integrity; freedom of political and religious expression; autonomy; stress; opportunity to holiday; quality of work.

The Scottish Election Study (SES), 2016 was carried out by a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow and University of Essex, to look at the 2016 Scottish parliament election which was held on Thursday, 5 May 2016. A pre-election survey and a post-election survey were completed by YouGov, with the same respondents interviewed in each wave. The pre-election survey was used to identify factors influencing voting intention and the post-election survey was used to identify how and why people voted the way they did. Via this panel design, researchers can determine how intentions translate into behaviour and see how expectations influence reactions to the election result.

Further information can be found on the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) project webpage.

Main Topics:

The pre-election survey covered topics such as interest in politics; vote intention; issues facing the UK as a whole and Scotland in particular; political parties and their leaders; Scottish independence referendum; general political values; election campaigns; and general demographic background.

The post-election survey covered topics such as interest in politics; voting behaviour; reaction to the election campaigns and results; EU referendum; Scottish independence referendum; political knowledge; and general demographic background.

A panel data file is also available which combines data from the pre and post election surveys into one data file.
