Social status, as described by income and religion, largely determines a person's vote and other aspects of his political behavior. The voting trend in New York City over a long period appears to be a function of social status. Group membership is more important than party platforms or exposure to propaganda in determining the voter's choice. Where the voter's opinion conflicts with the established party line, the party program is interpreted in terms of the individual's own desires and beliefs. Those least aware of differences between the parties and least convinced that the outcome of the election will affect them personally are most likely to change parties
