Ideology in the 2004 Election

Unformatted Document Text: ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of liberal-conservative ideology on voting behavior in the 2004 presidential election. The analysis uses data from the CPS National Election Study for that year. The empirical results show that there was widespread recognition of the candidates’ and parties’ ideological positions within the 2004 electorate. However, liberal- conservative identiﬁcations exert no direct impact on voting choices. Ideology does exert an indirect eﬀect through its inﬂuence on the more proximate determinants of electoral decisions. These ﬁndings are not only consistent with earlier results obtained during the 2000 presidential election; they also conform very closely to the basic theoretical structure laid out in The American Voter.

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the impact of liberal-conservative ideology on voting behavior in the

2004 presidential election. The analysis uses data from the CPS National Election Study

for that year. The empirical results show that there was widespread recognition of the

candidates’ and parties’ ideological positions within the 2004 electorate. However, liberal-

conservative identiﬁcations exert no direct impact on voting choices. Ideology does exert

an indirect eﬀect through its inﬂuence on the more proximate determinants of electoral

decisions. These ﬁndings are not only consistent with earlier results obtained during the

2000 presidential election; they also conform very closely to the basic theoretical structure

laid out in The American Voter.
