Polls and Elections
The 2016 presidential election featured two candidates whose personal qualities Americans held in exceptionally low regard. Voters perceived Hillary Clinton to be knowledgeable, but dishonest. Assessments of Donald Trump were historically poor across the board. Because both candidates suffered from voter perceptions of their weak character, campaign attacks and media coverage combined to elevate character to a leading campaign issue. Yet our anal…
Polls and Elections
Socioemotional selectivity theory posits that individuals invest more selectively in goals and activities that are emotionally meaningful as they age and time horizons gradually shrink. We extend socioemotional selectivity theory to the domain of voting in elections. We use data from the 2012 American National Election Study to test the hypothesis that older voters would place greater emphasis on emotional reactions to the candidates in their pre…
Candidate Character Traits in the 2012 Presidential Election
This article examines the effect of perceptions of the character traits of the presidential candidate on the vote in 2012. B arack O bama was perceived more favorably than M itt R omney on empathy, integrity, and competence, and just as favorably on leadership. The more favorable perceptions of O bama were due to very unfavorable perceptions of R omney; perceptions of O bama were mixed and were less favorable than they were in 2008. Trait percept…
Perceptions of Candidate Character Traits and the Presidential Vote in 2004
Many media pundits explained Bush's victory in the 2004 presidential election as due in large part to an advantage that he held over Kerry in personal characteristics or character traits, at least as perceived by the voters. By these accounts, Kerry was seen by many voters as aloof, humorless, vacillating, and indecisive. In contrast, Bush was viewed as warm, authentic, and a strong leader. Such interpretations were expressed by a wide range of j…

The Republican South: Democratization and Partisan Change. By David Lublin. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2004. 272p. $35.00. David Lublin's book attempts to describe and explain partisan change in the South.

Who Hates Hillary? Public Opinion Toward the First Lady, 1992–1996
This study uses data from the American National Election Studies to investigate the determinants of attitudes toward Hillary Clinton, to examine the sources of the shifts in opinion toward her between 1992–1996, and to analyze the basis of extremely negative attitudes toward the former First Lady. The result of this analysis indicate that feelings toward Hillary Clinton were influenced by two sets of variables, one reflecting partisan and ideolog…
Contextual Effects on Retrospective Economic Evaluations The Impact of the State and Local Economy
Attitudes of Southern Democratic Party Activists Toward Jesse Jackson
This article examines the effect of the racial composition of the local context on the attitudes of southern Democratic Party activists toward the 1984 Jesse Jackson presidential candidacy. Relying on a survey of delegates to the 1984 North Carolina Democratic Party state convention, the analysis finds that white activists were more likely to have a negative attitude toward the Jackson candidacy when they were from a county that had a higher prop…
