Does Military Service Matter? How Veteran Status Motivates Legislative Collaboration, Success, & Effectiveness in the U.S. Senate
In what respects does military service matter in the legislative behavior observed in the U.S. Senate? While scholars long posit that the personal backgrounds of political elites shape the legislative behavior of U.S. Senators, relatively little is known to what extent military service influences legislative collaboration and effectiveness. We argue that pre-legislative military service, an intensive personal and professional experience, socializ…
Presidential approval, party brands, and candidate quality in U.S. national elections
This article considers (1) presidential approval, (2) party brand differentials, as measured by the generic ballot, and (3) the presidential candidate polling differentials during the general election campaign to forecast the 2024 U.S. presidential and congressional elections. While all these three mass public opinion variables are leveraged to forecast collective partisan election outcomes, we consider the variables together as theoretically dis…
Interest Group Influence on Preferences for New Voting Rights Legislation in a Polarized Environment
Do Quality Candidates and Incumbents Still Matter in the Partisan World? Comparing Trends and Relationship Between Candidate Differentials and Congressional Election Outcomes, 1900–2022
The increase in elite-level polarization and the changing partisan nature of elections to the U.S. House led scholars to posit that candidate characteristics are minor considerations in determining these election outcomes. However, it is not clear if these trends extend to the U.S. Senate or if candidate considerations have lost the relatively minor predictive power they exhibited during the 2010s, particularly as partisanship continued to rise a…
Dynamics of Partisan Competition for Legislative Majorities in the U.S. House & Senate, 1959–2020
What drives partisan competition over the pursuit of legislative majorities in contemporary congressional elections? While conventional wisdom suggests that the chances of a legislative majority is largely predicated on the public’s ideological policy preferences or national standing of the president, there is little work assessing the dynamics of partisan competition over the course of the electoral cycle. Leveraging over 60 years of new generic…
The Role of State and National Institutional Evaluations in Fostering Collective Accountability Across the U.S. States
Theories of collective accountability in American elections center on the ability, and willingness, of voters to hold legislators accountable for the job performance of the president and his party in Congress. While this work finds that legislators pay an electoral penalty for low institutional approval ratings under their party’s control, little is known whether this form of collective accountability translates to the state legislative context. …
Forecasting Partisan Collective Accountability during the 2024 US Presidential and Congressional Elections
This article considers both presidential approval and party brand differentials, as measured by the generic ballot, to forecast the 2024 US presidential and congressional elections. Although both variables are leveraged to forecast collective partisan election outcomes, we consider the variables together as distinct determinants of partisan fortunes at both the executive and legislative levels. First, using a novel time series of mass national op…
The Greater Effects of Sexual Harassment: A Conjoint Analysis Assessing Variation in Political Scandal Effects on Candidate Evaluations in the UK
Race, Partisanship, and Democratic Politics: The Role of Racial Attitudes in Motivating White Americans’ Electoral Participation
While there is considerable research on the role racial attitudes play in shaping white political preferences, relatively little is known about how racial attitudes influence white participation in democratic politics. We present a model examining the relationship between racial attitudes and political participation in the 2016, 2018, and 2020 U.S. national elections. Using a variety of measures of political participation, our analysis presents a…
Fenno’s Paradox in a Polarized Age: How Polarization Lowers the Mass Public’s Assessments of Congress and Legislators
Fenno (1975) famously posited that the mass public's assessments of the U.S. Congress are rooted in a paradox, with citizens holding negative evaluations of the collective Congress while holding favorable views of their individual members of Congress. Since the conceptualization of "Fenno's Paradox," Congress underwent pronounced changes due to increased ideological polarization between increasingly homogeneous parties comprised of more partisan …
The Downsian roots of affective polarization
A growing literature studies the relationship between ideological and affective polarization. By taking a Downsian approach to affective polarization we contribute to this literature and demonstrating that affective polarization is driven by congruence between citizens and their party, relative to other parties, in the general liberal-conservative space and across a host of salient issue domains. We find robust support for our theory using indivi…
No Balance, No Problem: Evidence of Partisan Voting in the 2021 Georgia U.S. Senate Runoffs
Recent work on American presidential elections suggests that voters engage in anticipatory balancing, which occurs when voters split their ticket in order to moderate collective policy outcomes by forcing agreement among institutions controlled by opposing parties. We use the 2021 Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs, which determined whether Democrats would have unified control of the federal government given preceding November victories by President-ele…
Nail in the Coffin or Lifeline? Evaluating the Electoral Impact of Covid-19 on President Trump in the 2020 Election
Ideological cross-pressures or random error? An analysis of spatially inconsistent voting in the US House and US Senate
Theoretical and empirical models of congressional voting assume that legislators vote with the sole purpose to move policy closer to their ideologically ideal point. While NOMINATE correctly classifies most votes cast by members of Congress, a significant number of votes are misclassified and coded as spatial error. The literature on congressional voting assumes this error to be random and idiosyncratic across members. We argue that spatial error…
The Interactive Effects of Scientific Knowledge and Gender on Covid‐19 Social Distancing Compliance
Objective In this research note, we examine the role scientific knowledge and gender plays in citizen responses to governmental social distancing recommendations. Methods Using two waves of the American Trends Panel Survey and a measure of latent scientific knowledge, we test whether scientific knowledge is associated with comfort in participating in social activities during the COVID‐19 pandemic within both the full U.S. population and the two m…

Partisanship & nationalization in American elections: Evidence from presidential, senatorial, & gubernatorial elections in the U.S. counties, 1872–2020
The Collective “Congress” on the Ballot? A Voter and Aggregate-Level Analysis of Collective Responsibility in Congressional Elections
The traditional view among scholars is that voters do not weigh job performance in their congressional voting decisions. Recent work challenges this notion and provides evidence that congressional job approval matters at the ballot box. However, scholars are divided as to which party benefits from positive job approval ratings. Moreover, the literature is unclear regarding the conditions under which voters hold individual candidates accountable f…
The Conditional Effect of Scientific Knowledge and Gender on Support for Covid-19 Government Containment Policies in a Partisan America
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, many state and local governments were forced to implement necessary policies to contain transmission of the deadly virus. These policies ranged from closing most businesses to more controversial proposals, such as postponing primary elections. In this research note, we examine the role that scientific knowledge and gender played in citizen perceptions of these virus containment policie…

The conditioning role of polarization in U.S. senate election outcomes: A direct-election era & voter-level analysis
The Member-Level Determinants and Consequences of Party Legislative Obstruction in the U.S. Senate
Are Senators cross-pressured by party influence and constituent demands on procedural votes? We present a theory positing that Senators are indeed cross-pressured between these two demands and that electorally vulnerable members use the increased salience of procedural votes to differentiate themselves from their party. In an analysis of Senate procedural votes since the 92nd Congress, we develop a new spatial measure of obstruction preference an…
