Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which party identification questions used in conventional political science surveys prime respondents with partisan considerations and systematically bias subsequent responses. I hypothesize that asking individuals to identify with a certain party increases the availability of partisan considerations and, as a result, polarizes later responses along party lines. Using original data from an experimental survey, I analyze the magnitude, the persistence, and the dimensions of this question order effect with regards to support for social welfare programs and evaluations of the economy. I conclude by considering the implications of this question order effect for existing public opinion research and suggesting directions for future survey research.
