Political Behavior in Midterm Elections

By Elizabeth A. Theiss-Morse, William H. Flanigan, Nancy H. Zingale, et al.

"What do the 2014 midterm elections mean?" This essential supplement to Political Behavior of the American Electorate provides the answers, drawing on the most recent National Election Study surveys to offer a close analysis of the key issues and races, including:

the outcome of the battle for control of the Senate, including races in Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, and Alaska; the role of independents in elections, particularly in this era of partisan polarization; the influence of record campaign spending on election outcomes; and whether supporting President Obama's major programs helped or hurt members of Congress.

The perfect update to the classic text, Political Behavior of the American Electorate, by Flanigan, Zingale, Theiss-Morse, and Wagner, the 2015 edition of Political Behavior in Midterm Elections is available free to students when packaged with the text.
