Download Datasets4.25.2007 In order to explore the complex nature of religion among Latinos, the Pew Hispanic Center and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life collaborated on a set of public opinion surveys. Bilingual telephone interviewing for the Primary Survey was conducted from August 10, 2006 to October 4, 2006, and produced a nationally representative sample of 4,016 Latino respondents age 18 and older. The margin of error for this sample is 2.5% at the 95% confidence level.
7.13.2006 This survey was the first major public opinion poll of the Hispanic population to be conducted after the spring 2006 pro-immigration marches and congressional debate. The survey included both new questions that related specifically to the immigration debate and questions that have appeared on previous surveys by the Center to chart changes in attitudes over time. Interviews were conducted by telephone from June 5 to July 3, 2006, a period that followed the last of the major marches and congressional votes and preceded the round of field hearings conducted by committees of both chambers of Congress in the summer of 2006. The survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 2,000 Hispanic adults, 18 years and older, who had the option to respond in Spanish, English, or a combination of the two languages. The sample was drawn using Random Digit Dialing (RDD) methodology and was stratified according to density of Hispanic population and country of origin groups. The sampling design produced an oversample of Latinos of Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central and South American origins. The results are weighted to represent the actual distribution of adults throughout the United States. The full sample has a margin of error of 3.8%. The data set is compressed into a 399 KB Windows Zip file, which converts into three Word files (total 548 KB) and one SPSS data file (404 KB). 2.22.2006 The study was conducted for Pew Hispanic Center via telephone by International Communications Research, an independent research company. Interviews were conducted from January 16 - February 6, 2006 among a representative sample of 987 Mexican respondents age 18 and older. The margin of error is +/- 4.37 at the 95% confidence level. A total of 62 are registered to vote and 922 are not registered to vote. The data file is in SPSS format. The data dictionary is in an Excel workbook with 2 worksheets. 3.2.2005 The Pew Hispanic Center conducted an unprecedented survey of Mexican migrants in the United States, including thousands who say they have no U.S.-issued identity documents. The survey provides detailed information on the demographic characteristics, living arrangements, work experiences and attitudes toward immigration of 4,836 Mexican adults who completed a 12-page questionnaire as they were applying for a matrícula consular, an identity document issued by Mexican diplomatic missions. Fieldwork was conducted in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Raleigh, NC, and Fresno, CA, from July 12, 2004, to Jan. 28, 2005. The data set is compressed into a 593 KB Windows Zip file, which converts into two .pdf files (total 269 KB) and one SPSS data file (4,945 KB). 7.22.2004 In order to better understand how the Hispanic population, both voters and non-voters, see the political choices facing the nation this year, the Pew Hispanic Center and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation collaborated on an extensive survey of adult Latinos. This is the third such collaboration. The first National Survey of Latinos in 2002 also examined political views as well as a range of attitudes regarding ethnic identity and the assimilation process. The second, conducted in 2003, focused on education. The Pew Hispanic Center/Kaiser Family Foundation 2004 National Survey of Latinos: Politics and Civic Engagement was conducted by telephone between April 21 and June 9, 2004 among a nationally representative sample of 2,288 Latino adults, 18 years and older, who were selected at random. The sample design employed a highly stratified disproportionate RDD sample of the 48 contiguous states. The results are weighted to represent the actual distribution of adults throughout the United States. The data set is compressed into a 204 KB Windows Zip file, which converts into two Word files (total 243 KB) and one SPSS data file (528 KB). 4.19.2004 Getting the news could be the single most extensive cross-cultural experience for the Hispanic population in America. A growing number of Hispanics switch between English and Spanish to get the news. This survey shows that many more Latinos get at least some of their news in both English and Spanish than in just one language or the other. The survey of Latinos on the News Media was a telephone survey of 1,316 Latinos in a nationally representative sample. Interviewing took place from February 11 to March 11, 2004. Results have a margin of error of +/- 3.42 percent. The data set is compressed into a 112 KB Windows Zip file, which converts into one Word document (total 146 KB) and one SPSS data file (216 KB). 1.26.2004 This is a comprehensive survey of Latino attitudes toward education, public schools and a variety of education issues, including the No Child Left Behind Act. This national survey is released against the backdrop of major changes in the nation's K-12 system as states and school districts apply sweeping new federal requirements. The Pew Hispanic Center/Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation 2004 National Survey of Latinos: Education was conducted by telephone between August 7 and October 15, 2003 among a nationally representative sample of 3,421 adults, 18 years and older, who were selected at random. The sample design employed a highly stratified disproportionate RDD sample of the 48 contiguous states. The results are weighted to represent the actual distribution of adults throughout the United States. The data set is compressed into a 382 KB Windows Zip file, which converts into two Word files (total 348 KB) and one SPSS data file (1.0 MB). 12.17.2002 This survey was designed to explore the attitudes and experiences of Latinos on a wide variety of topics. The data set contains perceptions about identity, views about life in the United States, experiences with discrimination, both from within the Hispanic community, and from non-Hispanic groups, language abilities and preferences, economic and financial conditions, and experiences with the health care system. The survey also explored differences in the attitudes and experiences of Latinos from various places of origin including Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, and Colombians. The survey was conducted by telephone between April 4 and June 11, 2002, among a nationally representative sample of adults, 18 years and older, who were selected at random. Observations include 2,929 Latinos and 1,284 non-Latinos. The data set is compressed into a 797 KB Windows Zip file, which converts into two Word files (total 124 KB), and one Excel file (87 KB), describing the methodology and data set, and one SPSS data file (3,591 KB). |
