Media coverage has disproportionately focused on the red state versus blue state divide, leaving the impression that American political behavior is determined solely by place of residence. This, however, ignores the numerous other political divides that exist in the United States today. In order to better conceptualize the landscape of American political behavior, Patrick Fisher analyzes the political gaps in six different demographics-income, religion, gender, race, age, and geography-and examines the effect these political gaps have on public opinion, policy, and party positioning. Written in an accessible fashion, Demographic Gaps in American Political Behavior uses contemporary examples and data from the 2008 and 2012 elections to help readers understand how and why demographic background has the potential to greatly influence political opinions and behavior"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction to gapology -- The income gap -- The religion gap -- The gender gap -- The race gap -- The age gap -- The geography gap -- The implications of gapology. 650 0 $a Political participation $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Political socialization $z United States. 650 0 $a Demography $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Income $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Religion and politics $z United States. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a Men $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a Race $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Age $x Political aspects $z United States. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826092218.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=83D3936C6B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
