Political Behavior of the American Electorate

To what extent does a person's income level or religious affiliation influence the choice of a political party? Who votes and why?

Flanigan and Zingale explore these and other questions in this classic study of American political behavior. Incorporating 1992 data from the National Election Studies and other sources, the authors place recent voting trends -- such as voter turnout and party loyalty -- in a historical context of the past 40 years.
