The Impact of Ethnicity and Ethnic Media on Presidential Voting Patterns
- Leo W. Jeffres
摘要
Traditional influences on Americans'political involvement have declined
in recent years while the position of mass media and other influences
have grown in election campaigns. Although declines have been found for
the family, schools, and other socialization agents such as ethnic and
religious groups, ethnic voting may be with us for a long time, as
Wolfinger (1965) noted. These ethnic patterns of political involvement
may be imbedded within the political system itself and continue into the
second and third generations despite social changes that have reduced
the political significance of national origin (Busch, 1976; Dahl, 1961;
Fuchs, 1968; Levy and Kramer, 1973).
