Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Scholars of comparative state politics have successfully used national survey data to create aggregate measures of state-level ideology. Consequently, they have shown that state-level political ideology has a profound affect on policy outputs and outcomes across a wide range of public policy issues. In this paper, we suggest the political orientations of even more localized mass publics affect sub-national public policy outputs. Specifically, we argue that state politics research would be advanced by taking better account of the significant ideological variation found within individual states. These ideological dispositions are likely to affect policy implemented at the local level. Using methodology similar to that used by Erikson, Wright, and McIver (1993) at the state level, we develop measures of county-level ideology by disaggregating statewide California Field Poll surveys, 1990-1999. We examine the relationship between this more localized measure of political ideology and a number of policies at the local level, including criminal justice, health care, educational services, welfare, and transportation.
