Runoff Elections in the United States. Charles S. Bullock III, Loch K. Johnson
Partisan issue preferences and partisan change
Anticandidate voting in the 1984 presidential election
The Cognitive Utility of Partisanship
rT V HE DOMINANT concept in the study of voting behavior is partisanship, especially its operationalization by the Survey Research Center/Center for Political Studies as party identification. Given its strong impact on behavior, perceptions of the political world, and other political attitudes, partisanship has been the subject of intense scrutiny. It has been empirically examined and theoretically analyzed both as a dependent variable1 and as an…
The Failure of Liberal/Conservative Ideology as a Cognitive Structure
While the American electorate has been found less than fully capable of choosing among presidential candidates on the basis of their positions on the issues, there has been optimism that were that electorate encouraged to conceptualize politics on the basis of liberal and conservative ideological positions, the quality of vote choice would improve. Using ANES 1980's questions to assess the electorate's ability to lend correct definitions to the t…
Anti-Candidate Voting in Presidential Elections
The Irrelevance of Abstract Conceptualization for Policy-Based Voting
Mental Economy and Voter Rationality: The Informed Citizen Problem in Voting Research
A striking paradox of voting research is that, despite persuasive theoretical explanations of why voters are likely to be ignorant and empirical confirmation of voter ignorance, there has been substantial evidence of "issue voting" by large segments of the American electorate. This paper explains this paradox in terms of a heuristic that voters might use to simplify voting decision problems. Evidence from the 1980 CPS National Election Study tend…
Negative Voter Support in Presidential Elections
r _ RADITIONAL studies of behavior have focused, with few exceptions, on voting for the candidate who is more or better liked than the other candidate(s). While in all presidential elections a majority of citizens express positive support for their preferred candidate, it is clear that substantial numbers of voters act on the basis of support. If we assume a two-candidate contest, then negative support for candidate A is defined as that state whe…
