- Summary:
- This collection of thirteen essays brings together cutting edge views and research in the field of public opinion. The essays are organized into three sections addressing the measurement of public opinion, the foundations of political preferences, and the public and society. Specific essays explore the history of public opinion, citizen competence and democratic governance, ideology and public opinion, group bases of public opinion, emotional foundations of democratic citizenship, campaigns and elections, race and gender in public opinion, and public opinion in the age of new media. The examples and issues they draw on are all fairly contemporary, but it is notable that they skirt opinions about economic issues in favor of racial, sexual, and religious identity. The contributors are American professors of political science. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
