Survey Explorer
Descriptive views of the released data
What were Americans thinking in November 1963? Browse the raw survey responses — see how people answered each question, which questions moved together, and how one group compared to another.
Frequencies, cross-tabs, and correlations. Use this to orient before turning to the explanatory tools — descriptive prominence and what actually moves the headline are not always the same thing.

1. Pick what you want to know
How did people answer? — Frequencies. Which questions moved together? — Correlations. How did one group compare to another? — Crosstabs (pick exactly two questions).
2. Pick respondents and variables
Optionally restrict to a subgroup, then check the survey questions you want to look at. The published-model predictors are pre-checked; use the search box, category buttons, or "Restore defaults" to find or reset.
3. Run and read
Click Run Analysis. Results appear below — scroll down. All numbers use the survey's design weights, so they reflect the full U.S. likely-voter population, not just the raw sample.
Advanced features
Pin runs to compare
Click Pin this run in the results header to save a snapshot. Pinned runs collect at the bottom — expand to compare previous results side by side.
Filter and search
Search by keyword or question code (e.g. "q31" or "Khrushchev"). Category buttons narrow the list by topic. Click × on any active filter chip to clear it.

Variables you find here can go straight into the Model Builder to test what predicted Kennedy's approval. The Explorer is a good first step before modeling.
