The American National Election Study is an NSF funded publicly available, incredibly rich dataset that tracks American public opinion, vote choice and evaluations of government that has been in the field since 1948. It is an incredible resource for teaching and research and must be protected.
🚨 The ANES is on the list, because the award description includes the study of 'racial conflict.'
The loss of the ANES would be a huge loss for public opinion, and for science.
