A giant step in the study of our Electoral Behavior

It may be, that science in studying Voting Behavior has advanced since The American Voter was written. This does not change the great contribution and, therefore, the importance of this pioneering work on understanding how we all electorally behave. Simply put, we would never be where we are, if books like The American Voter, Voting, People's Choice, A Spacial Theory of Voting, and others like them weren't written. Science progresses, but that does not alter the value of every big step it takes. And The American Voter is a giant step!
