Product Description
DIVPToday we are politically polarized as never before. The presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 will be remembered as two of the most contentious political events in American history. Yet despite the recent election upheaval, IThe American Voter Revisited/I discovers that voter behavior has been remarkably consistent over the last half century. And if the authors are correct in their predictions, 2008 will show just how reliably the American voter weighs in, election after election./PPIThe American Voter Revisited/I re-creates the outstanding 1960 classic IThe American Voter/I---which was based on the presidential elections of 1952 and 1956---following the same format, theory, and mode of analysis as the original. In this new volume, the authors test the ideas and methods of the original against presidential election surveys from 2000 and 2004. Surprisingly, the contemporary American voter is found to behave politically much like voters of the 1950s./PP"Simply essential. For generations, serious students of American politics have kept IThe American Voter/I right on their desk. Now, everyone will keep IThe American Voter Revisited/I right next to it."BR---Larry J. Sabato, Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and author of A More Perfect Constitution/PP"IThe American Voter Revisited/I is destined to be the definitive volume on American electoral behavior for decades. It is a timely book for 2008, with in-depth analyses of the 2000 and 2004 elections updating and extending the findings of the original IThe American Voter/I. It is also quite accessible, making it ideal for graduate students as well as advanced undergrads."BR---Andrew E. Smith, Director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center/PP"A theoretically faithful, empirically innovative, comprehensive update of the original classic."BR---Sam Popkin, Professor of Political Science, University of California, San Diego/PPMichael S. Lewis-Beck is F. Wendell Miller Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Iowa. William G. Jacoby is Professor of Political Science at Michigan State University. Helmut Norpoth is Professor of Political Science at Stony Brook University. Herbert F. Weisberg is Professor of Political Science at Ohio State University./P/DIV

Having witnessed first-hand the missing profundity of the average American voter (I'm being kind), the thought of paying $21 to read the details leaves me cold -- yes, even 21 worthless Federal Reserve Notes. Here, stick this needle in my eye. Take your time, and have fun doing it.
