Pew Hispanic Center Releases 2007 National Survey of Latinos Dataset

WASHINGTON - The Pew Hispanic Center today released the 2007 National Survey of Latinos (NSL07) dataset. The NSL07 was conducted in October and November of 2007, and produced a nationally representative sample of 2,000 Latino adults. Interviews were conducted in Spanish and English, and respondents were reached both via landline telephones and cellular phones.
Topics covered in the survey include: perceptions and experiences of discrimination; attitudes about the enforcement of immigration laws; the effects of increased attention to illegal immigration; fears of deportation; attitudes towards immigrants; and the 2008 presidential race.

Selected survey findings are highlighted in 2007 National Survey of Latinos: As Illegal Immigration Issue Heats Up, Hispanics Feel a Chill and in Hispanics and the 2008 Election: A Swing Vote?.
