The American National Election Studies (ANES) is the premier
social science survey program devoted to voting and elections.
Conducted during the presidential election years and midterm
Congressional elections, the survey is based on interviews with
voters and delves into why they make certain choices. In this
edited volume, John Aldrich and Kathleen McGraw bring together a
group of leading social scientists that developed and tested new
measures that might be added to the ANES, with the ultimate goal of
extending scholarly understanding of the causes and consequences of
electoral outcomes.
The contributors--leading experts from several disciplines in
the fields of polling, public opinion, survey methodology, and
elections and voting behavior--illuminate some of the most
important questions and results from the ANES 2006 pilot study.
They look at such varied topics as self-monitoring in the
expression of political attitudes, personal values and political
orientations, alternate measures of political trust, perceptions of
similarity and disagreement in partisan groups, measuring
ambivalence about government, gender preferences in politics, and
the political issues of abortion, crime, and taxes.
Testing new ideas in the study of politics and the political
psychology of voting choices and turnout, this collection is an
invaluable resource for all students and scholars working to
understand the American electorate.
