American public policy has become demonstrably more conservative since the 1960s. In demonstrating a strong link between public opinion and policy outcomes, this book represents a substantial contribution to the study of public opinion and voting behavior, policy, and American politics generally.

With revitalized and stronger political parties should we see more effective and accountable government? Despite the resurgence of parties in America, charges of irresponsible and unreliable government remain. Why the disconnect? This title explores this question, while giving students an overview of how parties work and shape public policymaking.
