Study Notes
Voter Affiliation and Engagement Patterns
- Younger voters are increasingly affiliating with the two major political parties, particularly the Democratic party, rather than being independent
- Factors like state-issued ID requirements and tuition rates for students attending out-of-state universities may discourage voting
- Political involvement is influenced by wealth and educational level, with higher income and education correlated with increased voter participation
- Public opinion polls may not accurately reflect people's true, deeply held preferences. Latent preferences, or those formed on the spot, may be captured, but these are not necessarily enduring
- People with intense preferences about political issues tend to be more involved, donating time and money to political campaigns and events; highly educated individuals are more likely to establish strong political preferences and participate actively.
