Description
Is America in the midst of an electoral transformation? What were the sources of Joseph Biden’s victory in 2020, and how do they differ from Republican and Democratic coalitions of the past? Does the Democratic victory signal a long-term decline for Republicans’ chances in presidential elections?
Change and Continuity in the 2020 and 2022 Elections explores those questions by analyzing and explaining the voting behavior in the most recent presidential and midterm elections, as well as setting the results in the context of larger trends and patterns in elections studies. The authors present the latest National Election Studies data to help students see how social forces, party loyalties, and prominent issues affect voting behavior, turnout, and ultimately the results of presidential and congressional elections. Readers will come away with a better understanding of what the most recent elections mean for the future of American politics.

Change and Continuity in the 2020 and 2022 Elections is a welcome addition to this classic series of election studies. Like its predecessors, it provides astute and informative analyses of the most recent national elections that are thoroughly grounded in both American electoral history and the political science literature. In addition to offering students a sophisticated introduction to the study of elections, it will inform anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the electoral currents shaping contemporary American politics.

Change and Continuity in the 2020 & 2022 Elections is a phenomenal resource for both teachers and students of American politics. With rich aggregate and individual-level data sources, it is a marvelous combination of both the contemporary and the historical. It tells the important story of the American political experience especially from the view of voters and explores the dynamic nature of public opinion for over eight decades.

The 2022 election, like 2020, 2016, and so many other recent contests, surprised many observers. But the authors of the latest update in this series draw on persistent patterns of American politics and well-established trends to show the continuity underlying apparent changes.
