Social Issues and Voting Behavior.
Piroth, Scott
Social Education, v60 n6 p368-73 Oct 1996
Summarizes and reports on a large body of statistical evidence that suggests US voting patterns relate more to general attitudes and beliefs than to any substantive evaluation of policy positions. Studies reveal that voter preference often is determined by parental influence and party loyalty. Discusses possible reasons and implications. (MJP)
