About INES<\/h2>\n

The Israel National Election Studies (INES) began in 1969. We investigate voting patterns, public opinion, and political participation\nin Israel. Each election study addresses a wide range of substantive themes,\nincluding expectations about the election outcome; perceptions and evaluations\nof the major parties and candidates; information about politics; partisanship;\nassessments of the relative importance of major problems facing the country;\nattention to campaign coverage in the mass media (in recent studies); political\nefficacy; political values; left vs. right positions; trust in government;\npolitical participation; vote choice past and present; economic well-being; policy\npositions on the Arab-Israeli conflict, social welfare, state and religion,\neconomic, social, and civil rights issues; evaluations of political figures and\ngroups; measures of religious affiliation and religiosity; and detailed\ndemographic information.
\n
The INES is a member of the Consortium of National Election Studies <\/a>(CNES).<\/u><\/u>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Surveys<\/h2>\n

Each INES cycle comprises two elements: first, at least one\npre-election survey based on a representative national sample, and, second, an\nedited volume of research essays analyzing major aspects of the election. All\nsurveys are conducted prior to the Knesset elections and, in relevant years,\nthe direct Prime Ministerial elections (1996, 1999, and 2001). In certain\nyears, more than one pre-election survey was conducted. Since 2006, and in\ncertain earlier years (1973, 1988, and 1999), the study includes a panel design\nwith both pre- and post-election surveys. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mission<\/h2>\n

These data sets serve the research needs of social\nscientists, teachers, and students concerned with theoretical and empirical\naspects of mass politics in Israel. Several questions repeat across multiple\nsurveys, providing unique longitudinal data on public opinion trends and\npolitical behavior in Israel. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
