Why does the U.S House of Representatives remain in Democratic
hands regardless of the prevailing political climate, while the
Senate shifts back and forth? Why are voters more likely to vote
for House incumbents than Senate incumbents, regardless of
partisanship? Alan I. Abramowitz and Jeffrey A. Segal present a
compelling case that Senate elections have become much more
competitive than House elections and thus the Senate has become
more responsive to shifts in the national political climate than
has the House. The Authors employ sophisticated methods of analysis
to evaluate the impact of such factors as the history of the form
and function of the Senate; attitudes and behavior of voters in
Senate elections; the state of the economy; the popularity of
incumbent candidates; campaign spending; and television
advertising. The authors show that the uncertain electoral
environment faces by Senate candidates has contributed to a mroe
consensual style of leadership and a relatively stronger sense of
collective responsibility for policy outcomes. The book presents
original research that explores issue central to the way the Senate
functions and to its influence on the American political system.
Senate Elections will be of special interest to those who study
congressional elections and American politics.
