The 1996 National Black Election Survey

这项提案寻求补充资金，以便在1996年总统选举期间对美国黑人进行调查。这项调查将以1984年和1988年早期对黑人选民的调查为基础，并帮助回答有关政治环境和立法代表（早期研究中省略的领域）对黑人投票行为的影响的问题。以下问题将被解决：黑人国会代表和选举安排对黑人投票行为和民意的影响，政治背景对黑人投票率的影响，受访者对政治文化的主观评价对其行为和态度的影响，黑人投票的决定因素，种族认同的突出性和重要性，黑人对后民权时代政治成果的满意度。这些数据还将允许与1996年全国选举研究的应答者进行群体间比较。

This proposal seeks supplemental funding to conduct a survey of Black Americans during the 1996 Presidential election. This survey will build on earlier 1984 and 1988 surveys of the Black electorate and help answer questions about the impact of political environment and legislative representation (areas omitted in the earlier studies) on Black voting behavior. The following issues will be addressed: the impact of Black congressional representation and electoral arrangements on Black voting behavior and public opinion, the impact of political context on Black turnout, the impact of respondent's subjective evaluation of political culture on their behaviors and attitudes, the determinants of Black vote, the salience and weight of racial identification, the level of Black satisfaction with political gains in the post-civil rights era. The data will also permit intergroup comparisons with the 1996 National Election Study respondents.
