Document Summary

Midterm poli 222: political process and behavior in. Richard johnston party identification and campaign dynamics (1992) A form of campaign flux is persuasion (less likely than priming) The 1988 canadian election was fought primarily over the canada-usa fta. Two old parties" leaders: brian mulroney = whether he could be trusted to negotiate commercial union, john turner = doubts about his executive capacity; which threatened his credibility as a critic of the fta. About 70% of respondents with a vote intention claimed to identify with a party. Each party"s daily reading for share of identifications is regressed on a set of factors from the day before. Two factors: basic components of the vote and of the campaign"s dynamic story; the party"s share of the vote itself. All identification groups responded positively to john turner"s debate performance. But liberals were the most responsive of all. Pid did become more important as the campaign progresses, at least for the two old parties.
