This paper analyzes voting behavior for President, Senate, and House at the state level for the period 1914–80. The major finding of this study is that since World War II, there has been a pronounced trend toward “particularization” in voting for federal offices. This trend consists of more than the erosion of party attachments among the electorate; it also includes the dissolution of other traditional electoral ties such as presidential coattails, the midterm congressional swing, and incumbency. As a result of this trend, the vote in federal elections is largely determined by factors which are unique to the specific setting in which each election occurs and by the ability of candidates to convert these factors to their political advantage through mass media campaigns
