Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: We propose a re-examination of the conditioning effect of political sophistication on economic voting in U.S. presidential elections. Testing Gomez and Wilson’s (2001) hypotheses with survey data from the last five American presidential elections (1988-2004), we show that low sophisticates strictly but systematically rely on sociotropic economic judgments when deciding to support the incumbent party’s candidate. For their part, high sophisticates appear to use both sociotropic and pocketbook evaluations in their voting decision, but only in elections where the sitting incumbent is running for re-election (1992, 1996 and 2004). These results indicate that increasing sophistication allows individuals to see the connection between macroeconomic conditions and their own personal economic well-being. They also suggest that having a better ability at making causal attributions leads individuals not to hold the incumbent party’s candidate accountable for national and personal economic conditions in open-seat presidential races.
