Elections and The Political Order
The last section of a well-known earlier production by the same team of University of Michigan psephologists, The American Voter, bore the title, 'The Electoral Decision and the Political System'. It was a short section, which tentatively advanced a few suggestions and frankly recognized the need for further work, focused on the consequences of the electoral process, as against its makings in the personality and the group affiliations of individu…
Some Dynamic Elements of Contests for the Presidency
Despite the measured pace of American elections, there have now been a number of presidential campaigns since the advent of survey studies of voting. However sparingly, political history slowly has added to the set of distinct configurations of men and events which comprise a contest for the Presidency. The set is still small, whatever the impression created by massed thousands of interviews or by the accompanying files of election returns. Yet i…
Constituency Influence in Congress
Substantial constituency influence over the lower house of Congress is commonly thought to be both a normative principle and a factual truth of American government. From their draft constitution we may assume the Founding Fathers expected it, and many political scientists feel, regretfully, that the Framers' wish has come all too true. Nevertheless, much of the evidence of constituency control rests on inference. The fact that our House of Repres…
Spatial Models of Party Competition
The use of spatial ideas to interpret party competition is a universal phenomenon of modern politics. Such ideas are the common coin of political journalists and have extraordinary influence in the thought of political activists. Especially widespread is the conception of a liberal-conservative dimension on which parties maneuver for the support of a public that is itself distributed from left to right. This conception goes back at least to Frenc…
Party Loyalty and the Likelihood of Deviating Elections
Party Government and the Saliency of Congress
To what extent do public reactions to the legislative records of the major parties influence voter's choices among party candidates at mid-term congressional elections? Here is a study that provides an answer and throws light on some of the unique aspects of the American party system. Donald E. Stokes and Warren E. Miller are members of the staff of the Survey Research Center and Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan. Mr. …
On the Existence of Forces Restoring Party Competition
The concept of equilibrium, like Emerson's concept of compensation, has fascinating applications in many fields where processes of change may be interpreted as deflections of a moving system by external forces and the counteracting influence of restoring forces that return the system to its normal state or course. This article investigates the evidence for the existence of restoring forces which appear to maintain competition between the major pa…
The American Voter
Voting Research and the Businessman in Politics
Stability and Change in 1960
John F. Kennedy's narrow popular vote margin in 1960 has already insured this presidential election a classic position in the roll call of close American elections. Whatever more substantial judgments historical perspective may bring, we can be sure that the 1960 election will do heavy duty in demonstrations to a reluctant public that after all is said and done, every vote does count. And the margin translated into "votes per precinct" will becom…
Components of Electoral Decision
What combination of forces elects a President? Each electoral decision releases a flood of interpretive comment about the conditions, circumstances, and causes which have influenced the result. A very great assortment of factors is examined and varying estimates are made of the responsibility of each for the outcome. Certainly, interpretations of the most recent presidential contest have shown the variety of ideas Americans bring to the analysis …
