Swing Voters?. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, April 2008, Pages: 120
This book evaluates whether Catholics are swing voters, how their voting behavior has changed from 1992 to 2004, and what issues are influencing their voting behavior.
Despite much discussion by the U.S. media about the Catholic swing vote, Lori Gula Wright finds that Catholics are not swing voters and that their voting patterns are more similar to the general electorate than ever before. Although religious, class and cultural issues have significantly influenced Catholic voting behavior, they also have significantly influenced non-Catholic voting behavior in similar ways. While the Catholic vote may once have been a significant factor in electoral politics, today Catholics are more likely to vote like the rest of the country than ever before.
