Over the past fifty years, attitude surveys have won general acceptance as means of describing public moods & beliefs. However, the degree to which such surveys can be taken to predict behavior is not clear. Certain attitudinal items, in fact, allow prediction of voting turnout in different groups, making the prediction of voting behavior possible from attitudinal data. These results do not, however, offer any means of explaining such phenomena as declining turnout rates. The Watergate events do not account for this, since turnout has been declining steadily outside the South since 1960. The increasing number of voting-age Americans who do not identify with a political party, which has also risen over that period, offers one area in which such explanation may be sought; such an explanation may be found in the impact of televised campaigning on party structure. 2 Tables.
