Abstract

Found that voters' experience with and evaluation of government policies' effects on the National Economic Condition are a more important determinant of the vote than voters' evaluation of the effects of government policies on one's Personal Economic Condition. Different models for various social classes were found, but 'self-reliants' had similar determinants of the vote as compared to 'government reliants'. (Abstract amended)
