• Sommario/riassunto: Since the Reagan presidency, more and more public policymaking authority has devolved to the states. This work is organized around three major themes: the conceptualization and measurement of public opinion in the states; explanations of variation in state public opinion; and the impact of public opinion on state politics and policy.
