Show moreThe 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.

Show moreThis represents a study of the relationships between congressional district demographic characteristics, electoral competitiveness and representative voting behavior. Census data is used to compute heterogeneity scores for all congressional districts. Literature dealing with the effect of urbanization on electoral competitiveness and studies on the impact of competitiveness on congressional voting behavior are discussed. A hypothesis on the relationship between heterogeneity and electoral voting behavior is presented. Two hypotheses on the relationships between heterogeneity and congressional voting behavior are presented. Congressional behavior is measured by party unity and conservativeness. Correlational techniques arc used to study all three suggested relationships and some knowledge of such techniques is advised.

Title: Presidential Success and the Policy Divide.
Creator: Hicks, William, Schwerin, Edward, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description: This research evaluates presidential legislative success with an analysis of roll call votes on which the president expressed a preference, 1953-2006. The dependent variables reflect presidential success, presidential support, and opposition party support. The analysis finds that the independent variable responsible for the greatest variance of presidential success in both chambers is divided government.

Show moreThis research evaluates presidential legislative success with an analysis of roll call votes on which the president expressed a preference, 1953-2006. The dependent variables reflect presidential success, presidential support, and opposition party support. The analysis finds that the independent variable responsible for the greatest variance of presidential success in both chambers is divided government. Presidents generally are more successful on foreign policy legislation than domestic policy legislation in both chambers. However, the disparity between the two policy realms becomes less distinguishable during major foreign conflicts. Regression analysis indicates that the occurrence of major foreign conflicts is associated with increased presidential success and opposition party support on domestic policy in the House. Yet, the occurrence of foreign conflicts has a minimal effect on presidential success and opposition party support on foreign policy legislation in the House. In the Senate, the occurrence of foreign conflicts has a minimal impact on presidential success.
