Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Recent analyses of what contributes to congressional support for the U.S.President’s legislative positions have identified three major factors: co-partisanship with the President, ideological affinity, and public approval of the President. I propose adding a new factor: the relative district level electoral performance of the President and member of Congress – i.e. the difference between the 2 party vote shares received by the President and the member of Congress in each district. I analyze panel data with fixed effects for each individual to serve in the House of Representatives from 1952-1998 to estimate the relationship between relative vote and support for the President’s legislative positions. The effect of relative electoral performance is slightly larger than public approval on support for first term Presidents. I confirm previous findings that co-partisanship and ideology have the largest substantive relationship toCongressional support for the President.
