Download pdf | Full Screen View

Date Issued:
1984
Summary:
The relationship between New Right funding in the 1980 election and conservative congressional voting by freshmen Republicans in the 97th Congress is examined in a multi-stage process. Chapter I briefly outlines the previous studies dealing with congressional roll call voting. An examination is then made in Chapter II to determine the issue positions of the New Right and the movement's 1980 congressional election funding activities. Chapter III uses these established issue positions to determine conservative support scores within three policy dimensions. An initial analysis of the relationship is then made to determine if New Right funding is a predictive variable within the roll call analysis. With this established relationship Chapter IV uses regression analysis to determine the predictive strength of the New Right funding when it is compared with the factors most often cited as roll call determinants.
