Demographic Gaps in American Political Behavior examines the
political behavior of various groups in the United States in an
effort to demonstrate how demographic backgrounds and socialization
affect political behavior. Media coverage has disproportionately
focused on the red state versus blue state divide, leaving the
impression that American political behavior is determined solely by
place of residence. This, however, ignores the numerous other
political divides that exist in the United States today. In order
to better conceptualize the landscape of American political
behavior, Patrick Fisher analyzes the political gaps in six
different demographics (income, religion, gender, race, age, and
geography) and examines the effect these political gaps have on
public opinion, policy, and party positioning. Written in an
accessible fashion, Demographic Gaps in American Political Behavior
uses contemporary examples and data from the 2008 and 2012
elections to help readers understand how and why demographic
background has the potential to greatly influence political
opinions and behavior.
