This book helps students understand both the issues and how and why people vote for one candidate. After discussing the dynamics of the primary campaigns, the authors examine three broad sets of issues that play a key role in voting: foreign policy, domestic policies, and the culture wars. This sets the foundations for an examination of regional similarities and differences in voting patterns, as the varying salience and valence of issues-whether general or specific-is explored across and within regions. Special attention is paid to battleground states. Drawing on concepts from political science, this book advances students' understanding both of the field and the phenomenon.PresidentsUnited StatesElection2004StatisticsPresidentsUnited StatesElection2004Electronic books.PresidentsElectionPresidentsElection324.973/0931McMahon Kevin J990066MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450850303321Winning the White House, 20042292334UNINA
