What is the AmericasBarometer?

The AmericasBarometer is a consortium of universities and think-tanks dedicated to increasing the scholarly and public understanding of democratic values and behaviors in the Americas. The survey is the only one that covers the Americas, North, Central, South and the Caribbean. Each survey is a national probability sample of voting-age adults carried out in face-to-face interviews (except for the U.S. and Canada, where the national samples are web-based).

In 2004, the first round of AmericasBarometer surveys was conducted. Every two years, another round followed. Now, the AmericasBarometer series includes the following survey years: 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016/17, 2018/19, and 2021.
