Ideology and American political outcomes. 520 $a "Public opinion in the United States contains a paradox. The American public is symbolically conservative: it cherishes the symbols of conservatism and is more likely to identify as conservative than as liberal. Yet at the same time, it is operationally liberal, wanting government to do and spend more to solve a variety of social problems. This book focuses on understanding this contradiction. It argues that both facets of public opinion are real and lasting, not artifacts of the survey context or isolated to particular points in time. By exploring the ideological attitudes of the American public as a whole, and the seemingly conflicted choices of individual citizens, it explains the foundations of this paradox. The keys to understanding this large-scale contradiction, and to thinking about its consequences, are found in Americans' attitudes with respect to religion and culture and in the frames in which elite actors describe policy issues"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Ideology $z United States. 650 0 $a Conservatism $z United States. 650 0 $a Liberalism $z United States. 650 0 $a Social conflict $z United States. 650 0 $a Divided government $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Public opinion. $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Public opinion $z United States. 650 0 $a Americans $x Attitudes. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / General. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Stimson, James A. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826033813.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20150514025134.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA320396C4D411E18910E79C6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
