Papers
The Dynamics of Health Care Opinion, 2008–2010: Partisanship, Self-Interest, and Racial Resentment
TL;DR: It is found that health care policy preferences, already tinged with racial attitudes in 2008, became increasingly so by 2010, with Republicans growing more opposed to universal health insurance and those personally worried about medical expenses less likely to abandon support.
Citizen Perceptions of Government Service Quality: Evidence from Public Schools
TL;DR: The authors found that the relationship between perceived and actual school quality is two to three times stronger for parents of school-age children, who have the most contact with schools and arguably the strongest incentive to be informed.
Issue Publics, Campaigns, and Political Knowledge
TL;DR: The authors found that seniors learned much more than non-seniors about candidate positions on an emerging Social Security issue that was heavily emphasized in the 2000 campaign, but not when the same issue was more familiar and largely ignored by the candidates and press in the 2004 campaign.
