This guide to the strategies of candidates and political parties during American presidential election campaigns has been revised and updated to include data on the 1988 presidential elections. The authors identify the important factors that determine the American political environment, such as voting behaviour, interest groups and the electoral college, and the key resources, including money, staff and committed followers. The importance of primaries, the role of public financing and debates are also examined. In particular, the authors evaluate the impact that various reforms have had on the selection of the president of the United States.

Thorough Guide to Presidential Elections,
By
This review is from: Presidential Elections (Paperback)
"Presidential Elections" is a guide to America's big quadrennial elections. It outlines the entire process, discussing voters and voting blocks, money and television, and continues through the nomination process and party conventions. As for the fall campaign, the book examines polling and focus groups, television and other media, the Electoral College, domestic issues, social issues, and foreign policy.
In the eighth (1991) edition, there is a fascinating appendix showing the vote by various voter groups for the elections from 1952 through 1988.
