The American People and President George W. Bush
In some respects the public's reaction to the performance of the Bush presidency is similar to public reactions to the performance of previous presidents: President Bush had an early-term ``honeymoon," albeit a brief one. The public has ``rallied" in reaction to international crises. Those who rallied were mostly opposition partisans and political independents. Where President Bush's support scores have differed from those of his predecessors is …
The American People and President Bush
Professor Richard Brody explains the dynamics of public opinion about President George W. Bush during the so-called honeymoon phase and the period right before September 11. The Bush honeymoon period was short-lived relative to other presidents, with the president s polls dropping once he submitted his budget to Congress in early March. But Bush s approval ratings soared remarkably in the days subsequent to the terrorist attacks, a pattern Brody …

Endogeneity, Exogeneity, Time, and Space in Political Representation
Reasoning and Choice
Drawing on a multitude of data sets and building on analyses carried out over more than a decade, this book offers a major new theoretical explanation of how ordinary citizens figure out what they favour and oppose politically. Reacting against the conventional wisdom, which stresses how little attention the general public pays to political issues and the lack of consistency in their opinions, the studies presented in this book redirect attention…
Stability and change in party identification
How does the minimalist argument and our revision of it apply to so basic a political orientation as one's sense of partisanship? Those who first argued the minimalist position treat partisan identification as exceptional, indeed unique, among political attitudes: It is hypothesized to be learned early and well; to resist erosion even in the wake of vote defection; and to strengthen over the citizen's political life cycle. It is the principal lon…
Assessing the President
Do presidents inevitably lose support the longer they are in office? Does the public invariably rally behind presidents during international crises? What are the criteria by which the public forms its judgment about whether or not the president is doing a good job? And what is the role of daily news reporting and elite opinion in shaping the public's perception of the president's performance? This book addresses these questions and many others su…
Eating in San Francisco
This has become the Cantonese restaurant in The City. Great view and delicious food. Creative dim sum at lunch. For the quality, it is a very good value. This stretches our definition of "downtown" by five minutes or so
Linking Constituency Opinion and Senate Voting Scores
This paper attempts to explain better the linkages between constituency opinion and the voting records of senators. A hybrid explanation-the modified twoconstituency thesis-is presented here, and the analyses provide evidence in support of the explanation. Senators' voting scores are most strongly related to the weighted position of their party's constituents. The extent to which senators' voting scores diverge from the preferences of constituent…

The Instability of Partisanship
Scholars have long assigned a key role to party identification as an explanation of voting behaviour. In doing so, they have assumed that individuals' partisan affiliations remain unchanged for long periods of time. But is partisanship sufficiently stable to justify this assumption? At the very least, to be considered a long-term force party identification cannot change during an election. Yet the intra-election stability of party affiliations ha…
Participation in Presidential Primaries
SINCE 1968 the number of presidential primaries has exploded. In 1984 Democratic voters participated in 26 primary elections; Republican electors were involved in 29. They selected 56.4 percent and 68.2 percent of the delegates to their party's respective nominating conventions. The proliferation of primary contests is one of the most significant changes in electoral politics in recent years. It has become increasingly important to understand wha…

Policy Reasoning and Political Values
What is the structure of policy reasoning among citizens at large, and particularly, how does this structure vary with the level of education? To answer this question, we examine the nature of policy reasoning on the issue of racial equality. Our analysis helps explain why the highly educated show greater support for the principle of racial equality than do the less educated but not appreciably greater support for government efforts to promote it…

Stimulus differentiation versus stimulus complexity as factors affecting turnout in two-candidate and multicandidate races
Coping
This paper demonstrates that, contrary to the expectations of many, Americans in overwhelming numbers believe they ought to take care of their personal problems by themselves rather than believing that the government ought to provide them with aid. How they believe they ought to cope with such problems-on their own or with the assistance of government-helps explain, in part, the current cynicism of citizens. This paper relies on data gathered by …
From Life Space to Polling Place
To live is to have problems. However the country as a whole fares, the individual has bills to pay, work to do, children to worry about – to mention only a few of the commonplace problems that people face in their daily lives. Commonplace or not, these are problems that people must wrestle with. They are immediate, inescapable, and serious, far more so for most than the ‘large’ issues facing the country. Students of voting have long suspected tha…

San Francisco in Five Hundred Words or Less
The only salutary consequence of the failure of the APSA dues increase to attract fifty percent plus one of the voters is that those who attend the San Francisco Convention will be spared a long essay on the pleasures of the flesh—eating and sightseeing—in the convention city. That essay would have afforded me room to describe my thirty-five year love affair with this city and to detail why I believe it to be the most exciting and satisfying fort…

Policy Voting and the Electoral Process
The infrequency of issue voting in American presidential elections is usually attributed to a lack of policy rationality among voters. An examination of the Vietnam war issue in 1968 suggests, however, that much of the explanation may lie instead with the electoral process itself, and with the kinds of choices which are offered to citizens.Policy preferences concerning Vietnam were only weakly related to the two-party vote. Less than 2 per cent o…

Public Opinion and the War in Vietnam
Foreign policy seems to command more public attention than domestic policy and yet-insofar as it has been, researched-public opinion on foreign policy seems to have less impact on governmental decisions than does opinion in most other issue areas. There are at least two reasons, one normative and one empirical, why public opinion can be regarded as pertinent to some foreign policy questions-especially those associated with "life and death." Norma…

Participation, Policy Preferences, and the War in Vietnam
The war in Vietnam raises a number of problems about the relationship between public opinion and political decision-making. On few issues—perhaps on no previous issue—has public opinion been monitored so closely by the public opinion polls. And on few issues has the attention of policy makers been so closely focused on the various ways in which public preferences can be manifested—in poll results, in the congressional and presidential mails, in d…

Measuring Affect and Action in Inter National Reaction Models
The Cuban crisis of October 1962 may be analyzed from several perspectives. The investigator may focus his attention on the unique characteristics of the situation and sequence of events which are outlined here. The analyst of international relations may, as is suggested in this paper, examine these events so as to permit relevant comparisons with other crisis situations, both those resolved by war and those eventually resolved by non-violent mea…

Deterrence strategies
In the fifteen years since 1945, two parallel historical developments-the growth of military technology and an increased bipolarization of the international system-have given rise to grave questions about the possibility of maintaining peace and about the modes by which future wars, should they occur, will be conducted. The seriousness of these questions has led decision-makers and scholars, on both sides of the Iron Curtain, into an examination …

The emerging international system
The foreign policy‐making of individual nations is seen as greatly affected by the international system, whether the actors are aware of it or not. A bipolar system is seen as requiring centralization of decision‐making authority within the two great powers which define the system. Under the emerging system of “polyarchical multipolarity,” military power will remain bipolar but will no longer determine the form of other international activities. …
