Longitudinal Data
The LABarometer Longitudinal File is a comprehensive and harmonized dataset containing all completed waves of LABarometer Survey data. Variable names have been harmonized, allowing easy longitudinal analysis. For the vast majority of cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, this longitudinal file will be the dataset of choice.

Follow the “Data” link below and you will be taken to a page on the UAS site where you can download the LABarometer Londigudinal File (available in Stata and cs file formats). Click on the codebook link to download the longitudinal file codebook directly.

The LABarometer survey panel is a sub-panel of the Understanding America Study (UAS) which has now fielded two complete waves. You can follow the Data & Codebook links below to view the codebook and metadata for each survey and to download the datasets. You can also visit LABarometer’s data page on the UAS website for direct data download links.​
