How is Donald Trump’s presidency likely to affect the reputation
and popular standing of the Republican Party? Profoundly, according
to Gary C. Jacobson. From Harry S. Truman to Barack Obama, every
postwar president has powerfully shaped Americans’ feelings,
positive or negative, about their party. The effect is pervasive,
influencing the parties’ reputations for competence, their
perceived principles, and their appeal as objects of personal
identification. It is also enduring, as presidents’ successes and
failures continue to influence how we see their parties well beyond
their time in office. With Presidents and Parties in the Public
Mind, Gary C. Jacobson draws on survey data from the past seven
administrations to show that the expansion of the executive branch
in the twentieth century that gave presidents a greater role in
national government also gave them an enlarged public presence,
magnifying their role as the parties’ public voice and face. As
American politics has become increasingly nationalized and
president-centered over the past few decades, the president’s
responsibility for the party’s image and status has continued to
increase dramatically. Jacobson concludes by looking at the most
recent presidents’ effects on our growing partisan polarization,
analyzing Obama’s contribution to this process and speculating
about Trump’s potential for amplifying the widening demographic
and cultural divide.
Gary Jacobson’s classic text provides students with a
comprehensive introduction to congressional elections and the
electoral process. Based on the latest data from the National
Election Study, the Cooperative Congressional Elections Study, and
the Federal Election Commission, the tenth edition will include
coverage and analysis of the 2016 and 2018 elections. Pairing
historical data analysis and original research with fundamental
concepts of representation and responsibility, The Politics of
Congressional Elections presents students with the tools to
evaluate representative government, as well as their own role in
the electoral process.
The Politics of Congressional Elections is the most authoritative
and accessible introduction available on congressional elections
and the electoral process. By pairing historical data analysis and
original research with fundamental concepts of representation and
responsibility, Carson and Jacobson help students develop the tools
to evaluate Congress, as well as their own role in the electoral
process. The eleventh edition offers an engaging examination of
congressional candidates, campaigns, and elections by incorporating
coverage of the most recent elections and the changing roles of
voters, incumbents, challengers, and campaign contributions. This
edition also highlights the impact of the January 6th insurrection,
inflation and the economy, the Russian invasion of Ukraine,
infrastructure legislation, and the narrowing majorities in both
chambers. Brought completely up-to-date with the latest data from
the American National Election Study, the Cooperative Election
Study, and the Federal Election Commission, and including coverage
and analysis of the 2020 and 2022 elections, this seminal work
continues to offer a systematic account of what goes on in
congressional elections. Moreover, the authors’ framing
demonstrates how electoral politics reflect and shape other
components of the American political system, with profound
consequences for representative government. Key revision highlights
include: Updated coverage through the 2022 elections including
congressional primaries Expanded analysis of campaign finance and
voter behavior in recent elections Updated figures and tables, with
color versions available in the e-book and PowerPoint slides
