Abstract

This dataset represents survey data from the eighth wave of the Czech Attitude Barometer (CAB) panel survey. The CAB panel survey studies the attitudes and behaviour of the adult (15 years or older) population of residents in the Czech Republic. Respondents in the panel were sampled using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method with replacement. The sampling frame is the Census Districts and Buildings Register. The 66 strata are based on the Czech Republic regions crossed with the municipality's size. The eighth wave was fielded immediately after the October 2025 Chamber of Deputies elections. To study voting behaviour, the post-election CAB wave administered a set of key items from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) Module 6 questionnaire. In addition, the themes covered in the eighth wave of the CAB panel survey include affective and issue polarisation, resilience, and trust in political institutions. The eighth wave of the CAB panel replicates some themes from the first, third, fifth, and seventh waves, thus partially constituting a longitudinal wave of the CAB panel survey. In total, 1750 respondents completed the questionnaire between October 5 and October 16, 2025. The dataset from the eighth wave contains 364 variables.
