Abstract:
|
We test whether the decision to engage in political participation is influenced by the consistency of citizens’ issue preferences across social-welfare and cultural issue dimensions. Using data from the National Election Studies between 1972 and 2004, we demonstrate that those who are either consistently liberal or consistently conservative in their issue attitudes are more likely to participate in a variety of political activities than those who have inconsistent issue preferences or hold moderate policy views. On the other hand, we also show that in regards to voter turnout, the consistency of issue preferences does not seem to be the driving force steering citizens to the polls. |
