Political Behavior of the American Electorate

In this 16th edition of Political Behavior of the American Electorate, noted authors Elizabeth Theiss-Morse and Michael Wagner again continue the tradition of Flanigan and Zingale, using American National Election Study data to provide a thorough analysis of the 2024 elections and of American political behavior more generally. The authors explore get-out-the-vote efforts and the reasons people voted the way they did, as well as the nature and impact of partisanship, issues, and news media coverage in 2024—all with an eye toward understanding the trends that led up to the historic results.
