This collection compiles datasets from large-scale U.S. surveys, administrative records, and demographic sources to examine political behavior, social identity, and civic engagement. It includes national election studies (such as CCES and Nationscape), implicit association tests (IAT), marriage pattern data, county-level demographics from the census, political donation records, and geographic indicators. These datasets support in-depth analysis of voter preferences, polarization, social attitudes, demographic influences, and regional variation in political and social behavior across the United States.
