Book Description

This study proposes and assesses an alternative explanation of the changes in the relationship between presidential and House of Representatives election results during the last century. Jeffrey M. Stonecash argues that the separation of presidential and House election results that occurred from the 1960s to 1980 was a party-driven process, with both parties seeking to change their electoral base. Republicans sought a more conservative electoral base to counter what they saw as disturbing liberal trends in the nation. Democrats sought to reduce their reliance on the South and its conservativism. Presidential and House election results changed at different rates, creating an appearance that they were unconnected, but they eventually came together. Although many saw these changes in election results as evidence of parties’ decline, this study reaffirms their position as central actors in bringing about change.

Editorial Reviews

Review

‘A valuable historical perspective … Stonecash demonstrates that the decline and re-emergence of the connection between presidential and U.S. House elections over the past sixty years was a product of shifts in the ideological underpinnings of the American party system – driven by party leaders. A must-read for anyone wanting to understand our current polarized party system.’ Alan Abramowitz, Emory University

‘Stonecash has unified previously divergent findings by taking a simple but often untried tack. His book looks at elections from the point of view of the parties that shape campaigns, instead of merely from the point of view of voters who respond to them.’ Hans Noel, Georgetown University

‘Stonecash challenges the notion that the connection between presidential and congressional elections has been irrevocably frayed by the advent of candidate-centered politics … This is a well-researched book that creates a new interpretation of events … Highly recommended. General readers, undergraduate students, graduate students, and research faculty.’ A. D. McNitt, Choice
