24,504 rated or chosen profiles from 2,042 respondents, in up to 6 tasks of 2 profiles varying on 7 attributes.
| Description | 2,042 white US-born Prolific respondents each chose between 6 pairs of hypothetical candidates varying in party and in campaign statements on six issues, after a status-threat vignette. Outcomes are forced choice and a 1-7 likelihood of voting for each candidate. |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): party: respondents in the no-party arm (about 25%, 510 of 2,042) see 'Independent' on both profiles of every task; Democratic/Republican Party never pair with Independent. Issue side drawn with equal probability, then one of 5 statements of that side. Level shares: party Independent 25% vs Democratic/Republican about 37.5% each (arm share, not stated as a probability in the sources). |

Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead.
Outcomes:
| choice | If you have to choose between these candidates, which one would you choose? [choice, forced] |
|---|---|
| rating | On a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates that you definitely would NOT vote for this type of candidate and 7 indicates that you definitely would vote for this type of candidate, would you vote for the candidates above? [rating, 1 (definitely would NOT vote for this type of candidate) to 7 (definitely would vote for this type of candidate)] |
