This study proposes and assesses an alternative explanation of the
changes in the relationship between presidential and House of
Representatives election results during the last century. Jeffrey
M. Stonecash argues that the separation of presidential and House
election results that occurred from the 1960s to 1980 was a
party-driven process, with both parties seeking to change their
electoral base. Republicans sought a more conservative electoral
base to counter what they saw as disturbing liberal trends in the
nation. Democrats sought to reduce their reliance on the South and
its conservativism. Presidential and House election results changed
at different rates, creating an appearance that they were
unconnected, but they eventually came together. Although many saw
these changes in election results as evidence of parties' decline,
this study reaffirms their position as central actors in bringing
about change.
