Also CASEID was added so the ANES and ICPSR versions would be compatible
Varnames were converted to uppercase so ANES and ICPSR versions would be compatible
Also, ANES gave us permission to freely circulate an extract of the data
We switched to ANES own version of the data because it is freely available to everyone
ICPSR version of the data is available at https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/studies/25383
Other versions of our analysis have used the ICPSR version of the data.
Only a few ANES 2008 variables are included in this extract
Data are extracted from the ANES file anes_timeseries_2008.dta
