Public opinion in the United States contains a paradox. The
American public is symbolically conservative: it cherishes the
symbols of conservatism and is more likely to identify as
conservative than as liberal. Yet at the same time, it is
operationally liberal, wanting government to do and spend more to
solve a variety of social problems. This book focuses on
understanding this contradiction. It argues that both facets of
public opinion are real and lasting, not artifacts of the survey
context or isolated to particular points in time. By exploring the
ideological attitudes of the American public as a whole, and the
seemingly conflicted choices of individual citizens, it explains
the foundations of this paradox. The keys to understanding this
large-scale contradiction, and to thinking about its consequences,
are found in Americans' attitudes with respect to religion and
culture and in the frames in which elite actors describe policy
issues.
