PEW RESEARCH CENTER
Wave 69 American Trends Panel 
Dates: June 16-June 22,2020
Mode: Web 
Sample: Subsample
Language: English and Spanish
N=4,708

***************************************************************************************************************************
NOTES

Non-internet households were coded as SNSUSE=2 No, do not use social media.

Variable COVID_COMFORT_COMB_W69 combines responses from COVID_COMFORT_b_W69 and COVID_COMFORT_e_W69.

WEIGHT_W69_CENSUS includes an additional raking parameter to align the sample to for census participation base don what the Census has reported as of July 13, 2020. As of July 13, the national self-response rate given at https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates.html is 62%, which includes nonexistent addresses and vacant units in the denominator. In 2010, this rate was reported at 63.5% while the rate after removing invalid units was reported to be 75.8%. Thus, under the assumption that the proportion of invalid units in 2020 is similar to in 2010, the final target is 62 * (75.8/63.5) = 74%.

The following variables from other ATP waves are included in the W69 dataset for the purpose of longitudinal analysis. Custom weights are included below to be used for longitudinal analysis.
- POL1DT_W59
- POL1DTSTR_W59
- POL1DT_W64
- POL1DTSTR_W64
- DEMFIELD_W59
- TRUMPDEM2020_W59
- DEM1_CODE_FINAL_W59

Variable BATTLE_NARROW_W69 is a flag to identify if respondents live in a battleground state. SPSS syntax is included below to show how states were classified. Note that actual state is not included in the dataset to help protect the confidentiality of ATP members. 

***************************************************************************************************************************
WEIGHTS 

There are four weights in the W69 dataset:

WEIGHT_W69 is the weight for the full sample.
WEIGHT_W59_W69 is the longitudinal weight for panelists that responded to W59 and W69.
WEIGHT_W64_W69 is the longitudinal weight for panelists that responded to W64 and W69.
WEIGHT_W69_CENSUS is the weight used for all analysis of the Census module in the W69 survey.
