The British Election Study is pleased to announce the release of the wave 9 of our Internet Panel survey together with some new findings based on these newly released data.

Wave 9 constitutes the post-referendum wave of the three wave BES EU referendum study and was conducted directly after the EU referendum. Wave 9 constitutes the post-referendum wave of the ESRC’s ‘Panel Survey Study of the 2016 EU Referendum’ project. This is a BES linked project with the [UK in a Changing Europe initiative]. The combined wave 1-9 internet panel data can be downloaded here and the wave 9 only data here.

In total 30036 respondents took wave 9 of the British Election Study. 27555 of these also took wave 8, an overall wave on wave retention rate of 82.2%. 10170 respondents took all of the first 9 waves of the survey, 33.6% of respondents who originally took wave 1. Wave 9 was conducted by YouGov between 2016-06-24 and 2016-07-04.
