In investigating the presidential campaigns and early administrations of Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, Presidential Campaigns and Presidential Accountability shows how campaign promises are realized in government once the victor is established in the Oval Office. To measure correlations between presidential campaigns and policy-making, Michele P. Claibourn closely examines detailed campaign advertising information, survey data about citizen's responses to campaigns, processes that create expectations among constituents, and media attention and response to candidates. _x000B_Disputing the notion that presidents ignore campaign issues upon being elected, this book contends that candidates raise issues that matter and develop ideas to address these issues based on voter reactions. Based on comparisons of campaigns and the subsequent first years of presidential administrations, Claibourn shows how presidential action is constrained by campaign agendas.
