A note for replicators

There is one file missing from this archive. The data file goldmanData.rdata contains the 2008 National Annenberg Election Survey (NAES) Internet Panel data used to replicate Goldman (2016). However, the terms and conditions of the NAES prohibit me from publicly distributing, displaying, or posting this data to any website. I am allowed to use and disclose the data for academic research and will share it with university-affiliated academic researcher via email (ccrismancox@gmail.com). The data can also be requested here: https://www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/data-access/
