Synopsis:

Political scientists from Duke and Michigan State Universities analyze the results of the United States federal elections for 2000 and 2002. Utilizing voter survey and campaign result data collected since the 1940s, they place the contests within the context of general voting and campaign patterns in the country. Exploring voting behavior in general, they discuss voter demographics, attitudes towards issues and candidates, and party loyalties and preferences. That framework is then applied to the 2000 and 2002 presidential and congressional elections. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis: The Republicans once dominated the presidency, the Democrats, Congress - what happened? And what lies in wait for these parties and any others that join the fray? In Change and Continuity, Abramson, Aldrich, and Rohde add clarity on voting choices, evaluations of past performance, the role of partisan loyalties, patterns of alignment and party dominance. With their unsurpassed analysis of elections data, the authors put the controversial 2000 presidential election in historical context and examine in-depth the most recent congressional elections. The eleventh and twelfth books in the series, these intensely researched volumes bring current election analysis into the classroom without the intimidating statistics. Using data from National Election Studies, Gallup polls, exit polls, and official election returns, the authors present a clear and robust picture of American political behavior.
