A central question in political representation is whether
government responds to the people. To understand that, we need to
know what the government is doing, and what the people think of it.
We seek to understand a key question necessary to answer those
bigger questions: How does American public opinion move over time?
We posit three patterns of change over time in public opinion,
depending on the type of issue. Issues on which the two parties
regularly disagree provide clear partisan cues to the public. For
these party-cue issues we present a slight variation on the
thermostatic theory from (Soroka and Wlezien (2010); Wlezien
(1995)); our "implied thermostatic model." A smaller number of
issues divide the public along lines unrelated to partisanship, and
so partisan control of government provides no relevant clue.
Finally, we note a small but important class of issues which
capture response to cultural shifts.
