Book Description
In their classic study, Flanigan and Zingale analyze and clearly explain the National Elections Studies (NES) data to highlight the characteristics that shape Americans' responses to politics: Are Americans committed to upholding basic democratic values? Who votes and why? How do economic and social characteristics influence individuals' political behavior? In their brief and compact volume, the authors address these crucial questions while placing them in the context of the changes that have occurred in American political behavior over the past fifty years.
