Re: Polling Project: First Numbers (3.00 / 1)

The answer is yes, the original dataset will be made publicly available for free. And pretty soon. Chris and I discussed this specifically yesterday with the Mystery Pollster. He asked the same question.

It'll take me some time to prepare documentation for those without SPSS or similar statistical software. That's a very important issue because the sample is balanced, weighted, to reflect population parameters. The weights must be turned on, filtering the data, in order for accurate numbers to be generated. I don't use Excel much because of SPSS, so I'm unsure if it can generate statistics through a weighting variable. Perhaps others know?

I'll be working on documentation and my own deeper analyses  after next week. I think certainly by the end of February, no problem.
