Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Using data from the National Election Pool Exit Poll and the Pew Research Center Post-election Survey, this paper examines the source and meaning of �moral values� in shaping voter decisions and campaign rhetoric in the 2004 presidential election by (i) examining the demographic profile of the values vote (ii) unpacking what these voters meant by �moral values,� (iii) and examining the two major presidential candidates� values discourse and the extent to which they reflected voters� understandings. Values voters were disproportionately conservative, married, female, white, religiously active, and geographic heartlanders. While a plurality of values voters understood �moral values� to be referring specifically to abortion, gay marriage, and stem-cell research, there were relatively more issue-specific Democratic values voters among their own ranks than there were issue-specific Republicans. Most Republican values voters, in contrast, understood �moral values� more generally, and as coextensive with religion, the presidential candidates� qualities, and traditional values. The Bush team appeared to realize this, as indicated by the president�s pervasive values-talk during the campaign, in contrast to the values deficit of John Kerry�s campaign rhetoric.
