The impact of ethnicity and ethnic media on presidential voting patterns
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
