Table of ContentsReviewsJoshua Zingher's Political Choice in a Polarized America provides a fresh perspective on the central development in American electoral politics of the past half century-the rise of mass ideological polarization. Zingher demonstrates that ordinary citizens' policy preferences are increasingly organized into coherent belief systems and play a central role in shaping partisan attachments and voting decisions. This book is must reading for both scholars and concerned citizens who want to understand American elections and voting behavior in the current era of deep partisan polarization. * Alan I. Abramowitz, Professor of Political Science, Emory University * Zingher has produced an outstanding book. He demonstrates convincingly that policy-based choice in the American public depends on voter knowledge and elite signaling. Drawing on data spanning the last several decades of American political experience, he has produced the most comprehensive account to date on how this interaction has shaped American politics. Political Choice in a Polarized Era will quickly become a must read for anyone interested in the study of U.S. public opinion, voting behavior, elections, and political polarization. * Paul Goren, Chair and Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota * In Political Choice in a Polarized America, Zingher (Old Dominion Univ.) makes an important point about electoral change in American politics...This insight helps shed light on the roots of polarization in the US and offers a generative point of discussion about the future of US politics. * Choice * Joshua Zingher's Political Choice in a Polarized America provides a fresh perspective on the central development in American electoral politics of the past half century-the rise of mass ideological polarization.
