In a rich, multidimensional narrative, the authors show how presidential rhetoric and policies have served to divide voters along lines of class, party, race, and region. They also underscore the enduring consequences of George Wallace's, Barry Goldwater's, and George McGovern's failed presidential campaigns. Moving beyond the "guns, God, and gays" conventional wisdom, their distinctive contribution leads to an enhanced understanding of the political attitudes that have shaped today's polarized polity. 606 $aPolarization (Social sciences)$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1989-1993 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1933-1945 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1989- 615 0$aPolarization (Social sciences) 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents$xHistory 676 $a973.92 700 $aSmith$b Robert C. $0264409 702 $aSeltzer$b Richard A.$f1951- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797737403321 996 $aPolarization and the presidency$93695652 997 $aUNINA
