Alan I. Abramowitz has emerged as a leading spokesman for the view
that our current political divide is not confined to a small group
of elites and activists but a key feature of the American social
and cultural landscape. The polarization of the political and media
elites, he argues, arose and persists because it accurately
reflects the state of American society. Here, he goes further: the
polarization is unique in modern U.S. history. Today's party divide
reflects an unprecedented alignment of many different divides:
racial and ethnic, religious, ideological, and geographic.
Abramowitz shows how the partisan alignment arose out of the
breakup of the old New Deal coalition; introduces the most
important difference between our current era and past eras, the
rise of "negative partisanship"; explains how this phenomenon paved
the way for the Trump presidency; and examines why our polarization
could even grow deeper. This statistically based analysis shows
that racial anxiety is by far a better predictor of support for
Donald Trump than any other factor, including economic discontent.
