A broader approach to understanding the influences of the media on presidential candidate support in US primary elections is presented -- the social-psychological model of persuasion & attitude change, which emphasizes: (1) the strong impact of momentum & strategic voting; (2) candidates' messages & images; (3) messages of supporters & opponents; & (4) influence of credible media commentary. The model is used to analyze support for Democratic candidates in 1983/84, & for a preliminary analysis of the 1988 campaign. It is concluded that electoral momentum plays a central role in public opinion during election primaries, yet credible media commentary & candidates' leadership are additional influential factors. 3 Tables, 5 Figures, 61 References.
