Description
In our poll-driven age, political attitude surveys have become something of an academic industry. Researchers have proposed numerous models to explain the relationship between a particular issue and voter behaviour, but there is no consensus on which approaches work best. "Issue Voting" offers a welcome overview of the various models in use today, their strengths and their shortcomings.
