Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The goal of this research is to examine the effects of perceptions of party competence on Black Americans’ political party identification. The underlying assumption is that policy positions play a role in determining which political party Blacks identify themselves with, naturally aligning themselves with the party they believe to be the most competent in handling issues and problems. These sentiments favor the Democratic Party, so the source of Black party identification could be the confidence they have in the Democratic Party. Using data from the 1996 National Black Election Study, I regress Black party identification and feeling thermometers of Democrats and Republicans on items that measure Black confidence in the political parties to handle certain issues and problems. The Ordinary Least Squares results indicate that only a few perceptions matter when explaining Black party identification. Predictably, issues of race and class influence identification. Moreover, party competence evaluations impact partisanship more.
