You or your institution can purchase an annual subscription to the AmericasBarometer data sets. The subscription service operates much like a subscription to an academic journal. Subscribers are set up for IP authentication or with a unique username and password to the site where they can download all the individual rounds of the AmericasBarometer data and questionnaires (all the surveys from 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016/17, 2018/19, 2021, and 2023 that are part of the AmericasBarometer surveys) for a single annual fee. Upon annual renewal, new data sets will be made available as they are collected. For more information on the benefits of subscribing, please click here.
