Can Civility and Deliberation Disrupt the Deep Roots of Polarization?
The findings presented in this chapter will rely on a unique two-wave cross-sectional national study of the 2010 midterm election—with both waves fielded just as controversies about the “9–11 Mosque” and NPR’s decision to fire Juan Williams dominated cable and talk radio political programming—to assess the depth of party polarization in the United States. Unlike most Democrats, Republicans were much more willing to endorse political pundits who s…
Political Civility: Introduction to Political Civility
The articles in this symposium are peppered with numerous recent incidents of political incivility ranging from physical scuffles at town hall meetings to the now-infamous accusation shouted at president Barack Obama during a nationally televised address before a joint session of Congress. Name calling and ad hominem attacks that were once associated with talk radio and cable television pundits have made their way into the halls of governing inst…
Incivility and Standing Firm: A Second Layer of Partisan Division
Political observers have detected a noticeable uptick in American political incivility in recent years, culminating with several moderate senators recently citing the rise of hard-core partisanship as the reason for their retirement. Supporting these accusations of unprecedented incivility with empirical evidence can be difficult, as notions of what constitutes appropriate, civil behavior are subjective and can vary across the political context o…
Forget the Good of the Game: Political Incivility and Lack of Compromise as a Second Layer of Party Polarization
The growing literature on American party polarization has focused on growing differences in partisan vote outcomes, political values, and policy position. We argue that a second layer of party polarization has developed that goes far beyond simply issue and ideological differences. A growing unwillingness to want politicians to compromise with the other side and a determination to blame growing political incivility solely on the other party chara…
Polls, Elite Opinion, and the President: How Information and Issue Saliency Affect Approval
Our experiment examines the effect of information and issue saliency on presidential approval. Subjects received either pro‐Bush or anti‐Bush information on the president's Iraq War and Social Security policies in the form of newspaper opinion pieces and/or polls, and then evaluated Bush's overall job performance and his handling of these two issues. Information and polls that supported Bush's Social Security policy led subjects to support Bush o…
The Federal Election of 2002
During the summer of campaign year 2002, the election alreadyseemed lost for the SPD/Green government. Public opinion pollssaw the governing coalition trailing by several percentage points,whereas the CDU/CSU, together with the FDP, looked like the surewinner. A central reason for the malaise of the red-green governmentwas the ailing economy. Unemployment rates hovered at the 4million mark and would have been even higher if governmentfundedjobs h…
