About this document
Unstable Majorities in American Politics by Hoover Institution is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Political commentators assert that American politics has become highly polarized: most people fall on the extremes and the middle has vanished. A close examination of public opinion data, however, uncovers little or no evidence of such claims. But the data show that Republicans have become more conservative and Democrats more liberal. These changes balance, leaving the overall voter distribution unchanged but the moderate middle without a home in either party.
