A giant step in the study of our Electoral Behavior,
By
This review is from: The American Voter (Paperback)
It may be, that science in studying Voting Behavior has advanced since The American Voter was written.
This does not change the great contribution and, therefore, the importance of this pioneering work on understanding how we all electorally behave. Simply put, we would never be where we are, if books like The American Voter, Voting, People's Choice, A Spacial Theory of Voting, and others like them weren't written. Science progresses, but that does not alter the value of every big step it takes. And The American Voter is a giant step!

Classic for being first not best,
By A Customer
This review is from: The American Voter (Paperback)
This book is undoubtedly one of the important books ever written on voting. This does not mean it is one of the best. I can provide two reasons for this observation. First, the data they use is not as good as the modern data. Second, Partisanship has changed a lot in 40 years. Still a vital book for the library of any student of voting behavior.
