Party Identification And Voting Behavior
James considers himself a Republican, but he voted for the Democratic candidate in the last presidential election. Why is this considered an unusual occurrence?
A
Because he prefers to vote for the incumbent candidate, who was a Democrat, and typically only 40% of incumbents are reelected.
B
Because party identification typically results in 90% of voters casting ballots for the party they support.
C
Because he did not agree with the Democratic candidate's income tax policy, and a study has shown that 95% of people vote based on a candidate's economic stances.
D
Because the phenomenon of party affiliation typically leads individuals to vote for the candidate of their preferred party.
