Predicting Voter Turnout in the 2008 Presidential Election: Assessing the Impact of Battleground Status and Early Voting Opportunities. Author: Jenna McCulloch. Faculty Mentor: Dr. Kiki Caruson.
This summary analyzes factors that influence voter turnout among millennials based on data from the 2012 election. It finds that higher education levels strongly correlate with increased voter registration and turnout, with those having some college or a bachelor's degree being 20-30% more likely to vote. However, geographic region and population density show little correlation, as turnout in urban vs. rural areas was similar to national averages. High levels of civic engagement in non-profits and social movements also did not translate to higher turnout. The data suggests that while millennials are active in causes, their limited free time may prevent prioritizing voting. Overall education appears the strongest motivating factor for young voters.
Voter turnout is influenced by a variety of individual and social factors. Research shows that whether a person perceives themselves as a "winner" or "loser" after an election, their level of political and social trust, personality traits like conscientiousness, and social pressures all impact their likelihood of voting. The costs and benefits of voting, like fulfilling a civic duty or facing criticism for not voting, also affect an individual's decision. No single factor determines turnout, and different electoral systems can have varying effects depending on other contextual influences.
- The document discusses previous studies that have found a positive correlation between weekend voting and increased voter turnout, with estimates of a 5-6% increase.
- However, the author notes some limitations in previous studies, such as limited country samples, assumptions made but not tested, and a lack of analysis on why weekend voting may impact turnout.
- The author proposes to conduct a more comprehensive analysis using data from 288 elections in 96 countries from 2000-2012. The analysis will examine the impact of weekend voting on turnout as well as explore factors like a country's economy, unemployment, and demographics that may influence the effect of weekend voting.
This document summarizes a student paper analyzing the relationship between weekend voting and voter turnout. The paper reviews previous studies that found a positive correlation, but notes limitations in their scope and methods. The student aims to conduct a more comprehensive analysis using data from 288 elections in 96 countries between 2000-2012. Models will examine the direct impact of weekend voting on turnout as well as differences across country groups and indicator interactions. The student hypothesizes that weekend voting increases turnout by lowering the cost of voting compared to weekdays, and expects stronger effects in wealthier, more developed democracies.
Partisans remain sharply divided in their views of the news media according to a 2018 Pew Research Center survey. The survey found:
1) Democrats (82%) are much more likely than Republicans (38%) to think news media criticism keeps political leaders from doing things they shouldn't, continuing a large partisan divide from 2017. This gap is the largest in over 30 years of surveys.
2) Most Americans (71%) think news will be accurate, but many (68%) believe news organizations cover up mistakes. Most also feel the media doesn't understand them or that they are disconnected from their news sources.
3) While few have high trust in social media for news (4%), more have trust in national

This paper is the first in a series of publications aimed at provoking thought and discourse on issues relating to “Winner-Takes-All” politics in Ghana. It discusses winner-takes-all as an electoral formula and situates it within the context of winner-takes-all politics in Ghana. It highlights the dangers of Ghana’s winner-takes-all politics such as the marginalization of perceived political opponents and the feeling of exclusion from the governance process by those who do not belong to the government/ruling party. The paper argues further that winner-takes-all politics undermines the quest for national development, cohesion and the drive towards democratic maturity. In proffering policy recommendation, the paper critically examines Proportional Representation as one possible mechanism for ensuring inclusive governance and dealing with some of the challenges associated with winner-takes-all politics.
Same day voter registration (also known as election day registration) allows eligible citizens to register and vote on the same day. States that allow this have higher voter turnout averaging 7% more than states without same day registration. Same day registration also results in fewer provisional ballots, insignificant increased costs, and enhanced citizen participation without evidence of increased fraud. Nine states currently allow same day registration which benefits all voters, young people, minorities, and recent movers by removing barriers to participation.

The document examines the relationship between race, education, and voting using data from the 2012 General Social Survey. Crosstab analyses found that whites were more likely to vote than blacks or others, and those with a bachelor's degree or higher were more likely to vote than those with less education, supporting the two hypotheses. The analyses revealed a statistically significant correlation between both race and education level with likelihood of voting.
The document discusses various topics related to the dynamics of voting, including 2012 exit polls, how the makeup of the electorate varies in different elections, ballot initiatives and electoral timing, and theories of surge and decline in voter turnout. It also examines how voters decide, changing voter distributions between presidential and midterm elections, and evidence that the timing of an election can systematically affect the results of ballot initiative campaigns.

Election, particiption and voting behaviourShyam Budhwar
Voting behavior in India is influenced by many determinants. Religious, caste, community, and linguistic factors play a role as politicians appeal to these identities. Money also influences votes as it is used by parties to win elections. Ideology and policies can sway voters, as can the purpose of an election. The extent of suffrage also impacts behavior. Additionally, the charisma of leaders is very influential, as slogans and personalities have changed voter minds and election outcomes in India. Some examples given are Indira Gandhi's "Garibi Hatao" slogan and Narendra Modi's strong image. Caste alliances and regionalism further guide how many Indians vote.
This paper investigates the relationship between social media and social conflict in Africa using statistical analysis. It analyzes how internet and mobile phone penetration rates affect the number of social conflict events in African countries from 2005-2010. The results show that higher internet and mobile phone rates are correlated with increased social conflicts. The paper provides context through a literature review on risk factors for conflict and theoretical frameworks explaining how social media could lower barriers to organizing protests.
The document analyzes the relationship between political polarization, wealth inequality, voter turnout laws, and voter turnout. Regression models found that political polarization and voter ID laws did not significantly impact turnout, but wealth inequality did have a significant negative effect on turnout. While the study has limitations, it provides initial evidence that increasing wealth inequality, rather than polarization alone, may contribute to decreasing voter participation. Further research is needed to more fully understand the impacts of polarization and inequality on political engagement.
Civil Beat Poll October 2018 — Constitutional Convention:Honolulu Civil Beat
A Civil Beat poll of 961 likely Hawaii voters found differing levels of support for a constitutional convention depending on how the question was asked. When asked as an issue, 47% supported a convention, 32% opposed it, and 19% needed more information. But when asked how they would vote, only 26% said yes and 46% said no, while 20% were unsure. Support was higher among men, younger voters, Native Hawaiians, liberals, Democrats, and lower-income residents. Opposition was higher among women, older voters, Japanese, conservatives, Republicans, and those with higher incomes.
What we see may not always be the reality and what we
presume as real may not be our observation always. In a democratic
set-up, this has often emerged as a reality. Democracies had always been subjected to criticism but it is astonishing to note how the
interplay of corrupt vision and changing social attitudes playing a
havoc in our democratic systems. This paper broadly investigates
the voting behavior and attitudes in response to sophisticated
tempting actions by political parties to pull voters. This research
demonstrates that higher the level of temptation combined with
many socio-economic perils leads to higher biasness towards
them. Participatory research, interviews, journals, publications,
and observation and media reporting have been studied, analyzed,
and scrutinized to discover how different poor and illiterate people
vote. Findings and results attribute a greater role of education,
financial liberty, backwardness, and awareness to political reality
in determining voting behavior.
The Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College conducted a poll of 403 New Hampshire registered voters between April 2-5, 2012 regarding political issues, the economy, and social policies. Key findings included:
- Voters were less pessimistic about the national and state economies than in 2011.
- In a hypothetical presidential matchup, Mitt Romney led Barack Obama by a slim margin of 43.9% to 42.4%.
- "Building a strong economy" was viewed as the most important issue for the state government.
- Voters were split on expanded gambling and college student voting eligibility. They supported same-sex marriage and cell phone bans while driving but opposed guns on college campuses and employer contraceptive coverage refus
This case study assessed Montana's disproportionately high Native American homeless population. Research found that Native Americans represent nearly 30% of Montana's homeless population, compared to just 2.5% nationally. Data from point-in-time homeless surveys in Montana and a study on a Native American community that gained income from a new casino found that economic development programs that provide jobs and basic income can significantly reduce rates of substance abuse, mental health issues, and homelessness among Native Americans. However, plans by the Mayor's Committee to address homelessness in Montana's largest city did not include specific recommendations for the Native American subpopulation.
Trump vs Clinton - Polling Opinions: How the polls were wrong and how to fix...chrisbrock54
This document discusses ways that pollsters could improve their election predictions in the future based on failures in the 2016 US presidential election. It identifies several issues with polls in 2016, including relying on small sample sizes, outdated polling methods, and neglecting online data sources. It then provides eight fixes for pollsters, such as applying robust statistical models, incorporating modern technology and online data, accurately assessing the impact of scandals, and utilizing digital advertising data from Facebook. The overall message is that pollsters need to embrace new data sources and statistical methods to make more accurate predictions.
Foster McCollum White & Associates conducted public opinion polling from 2010 to 2012 and analyzed the accuracy of their results. Their 2010 Michigan Democratic primary poll for governor accurately predicted Virg Bernero would defeat Andy Dillon, including Bernero's margin of victory and support levels in different regions. Their October 2010 poll on the Michigan gubernatorial general election showed Rick Snyder leading Virg Bernero. The report assessed the accuracy of their methodology and models.
This document summarizes research on voter apathy among millennials. It finds that millennial voter turnout has consistently declined compared to other generations when they were the same age. Studies show millennials have become more individualistic over time and less focused on civic engagement and community involvement compared to previous generations. Political socialization is important, and habits formed around voting in early adulthood tend to persist. The declining civic participation among millennials is concerning for the health of democracy.
How to Rig an Election: A Study of Electoral Manipulation in AfghanistanJonathon Flegg
The document analyzes electoral manipulation that occurred during the 2009 Afghan presidential election. It identifies key actors, including candidates Karzai, Abdullah, and Bashardost, as well as ethnic groups and external bodies. It finds evidence that Karzai rigged the election through ballot stuffing, voter interference, and intimidation, disproportionately benefiting himself in Pashtun districts. Statistical analysis supports findings of manipulation in Karzai's favor. The conclusion offers recommendations to Karzai on how to better rig future elections.

This internship abstract examines the relationship between socioeconomic factors and presidential primary outcomes in swing states in 2016. The intern will use quantitative analysis to determine if a state's race, gender, political culture, and workforce participation affected whether candidates won primaries or caucuses. Preliminary descriptive statistics found non-minority populations correlated with certain candidates' success and inverse relationships between Democratic and Republican candidates. Workforce factors also correlated with outsider candidates' vote percentages. Further regression analysis was planned to estimate the predictive power of states' compositions.
The survey summarizes key findings from the 2013 Consumer Financial Literacy Survey conducted by Harris Interactive for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling and the Network Branded Prepaid Card Association. It provides details on the survey methodology and examines topics like budgeting, spending, savings, bill payment, credit cards, financial knowledge, debt problems, and prepaid debit card usage. Over 2,000 US adults ages 18 and up were surveyed online between March 4-6, 2013. The survey highlights trends in financial behaviors and concerns.

Experiencing Truth Into a Culture of DoubtAdam McLane
This document discusses engaging with students who have doubts about faith. It recommends that leaders find out what students doubt, reassure them that doubting is okay, and create a safe space for questions. Small groups that allow students to know and be known by a trusted adult are important. Leaders should know Christianity's narrative well but also be well-versed in other areas. The goal is for students to experience faith, not just learn about it or say prayers, by leaders acting as tour guides who emphasize progress over perfection.
This document analyzes data from 27 election studies across 5 countries to estimate the percentage of voters who change their minds in the month before an election. It finds that on average, about 16% of voters change their preferred party between initial interviews conducted a month before the election and post-election surveys. However, rates vary significantly between countries, from about 4% of voters in the US to 30% in New Zealand. Voters are also more likely to change their minds earlier in the campaign period compared to the final weeks.
- The document analyzes voting patterns in the 2008 and 2012 US presidential elections using data from the American National Election Studies.
- It finds that a high proportion (around 89.5%) of respondents had similar voting preferences in both elections, indicating voting preferences do not significantly change between elections for most voters.
- There are some variations in voting patterns between different states, with certain states traditionally voting more for Democratic or Republican candidates.
Voter turnout declined in the 2012 US presidential election compared to 2008 and 2004, dropping from 62.3% in 2008 to an estimated 57.5% in 2012. While the number of eligible voters increased by over 8 million, the total number of votes cast declined by about 5 million. Turnout decreased across most states for both Republican and Democratic voters. States with competitive races saw higher turnout on average compared to other states. The report analyzed trends in voter registration and turnout over time and found mixed signs as to whether the 2012 decline signals a return to longer-term downward trends in participation or was a temporary setback.
The No Labels movement was founded in 2009 to focus on solutions over partisan politics. It has grown to over 5 million online members and holds national conversations to build understanding across party lines. No Labels aims to change how politicians govern by monitoring Congress, engaging citizens through social media and events, and supporting bipartisan policy proposals and candidates open to compromise. Its goals are increasing civic participation and encouraging political leaders to focus on practical solutions over ideological divides.
Study Guide for Chapter 10 of "The Struggle for Democracy"mmcroberts
This document discusses different models of how elections can lead to popular control: the prospective voting model, electoral competition model, and retrospective voting model. It also covers key aspects of elections in the US, including low voter turnout due to barriers, complexity, and lack of voter mobilization. Factors like income, education, race, ethnicity, and age affect who votes. Campaigns are expensive and rely on funds from individuals, PACs, 527s, 501s. Voters decide based on social characteristics, party loyalties, and issues. The electoral college system is explained for electing the president.
The Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College conducted a poll of 433 registered New Hampshire voters on politics, economics, and social issues. Key findings include:
- Over three-quarters of voters support universal background checks for firearm sales.
- Views of the state and national economy have improved since last year.
- Senator Ayotte's unfavorable rating increased by 7% after her vote against expanded background checks.
- In hypothetical 2014 Senate matchups, Senator Shaheen leads potential challengers Jeb Bradley and Scott Brown. In 2016 presidential matchups, Hillary Clinton leads Chris Christie and Marco Rubio.
This chapter discusses different types of elections in the US and their purposes and mechanics. It covers presidential and congressional races, the nomination process, the electoral college, and the factors that influence electoral outcomes. It also examines campaign financing and how candidates spend money. While elections can foster citizenship, some question if current practices maximize deliberation. Reforms aim to improve the system.
A2 G&P the electoral college and how it worksOliver Pratten
This document provides an overview of the US Electoral College system. It describes how electors are chosen and allocated to each state based on representatives. It explains that electors vote for president and vice president, and the candidates who receive an absolute majority of electoral votes win. If no candidate achieves a majority, the House of Representatives and Senate decide the winner. The document outlines arguments both for and against the Electoral College system.
The Making of an Engaged Electorate? (view full screen)Rhesa Jenkins
This document analyzes data from the 2008 US election to understand patterns in campaign donations, voter demographics, and key issues. It finds that while large donors still provided most funds, Obama attracted more small donors than other candidates. Obama also received more support from lower-income voters. The top issues for Obama voters were the economy, healthcare, and energy policy. The document suggests voter turnout may depend on whether political priorities address the key concerns that motivated groups like Obama supporters in 2008.
This paper explores whether racial prejudice affected the results of the 2016 Republican primary elections. The author uses regression analysis to examine the relationship between the percentage of votes Donald Trump received in each state and various measures of racism, including hate crime rates, numbers of hate groups, and racially charged Google searches. The analysis found that Trump performed better in states with higher levels of hate crimes and more hate groups per capita. This suggests that racial prejudice may have contributed to Trump's success in the 2016 Republican primaries.
This document discusses a study analyzing the impact of all vote-by-mail elections on voter turnout in Utah. The study found that counties conducting all vote-by-mail federal elections had 4.6% higher registered voter turnout than counties with traditional polling places and absentee voting. However, the author notes that novelty effects may be impacting turnout in counties recently adopting the all vote-by-mail system. The document examines vote-by-mail policies and their mixed effects on turnout in other states like Oregon, Washington, and Colorado.
The document discusses various aspects of the US political system and elections, including political parties, interest groups, voting behavior, and campaign finance. It covers topics like the two-party system, the rise of political action committees (PACs), voter turnout rates among different demographic groups, and the impact of media on presidential elections. The document is a study guide or test that asks 150 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of these and related concepts in American government and politics.
The document discusses the influence of mass media on U.S. elections. It notes that while voters see media as influential, they also distrust media coverage and think it focuses too much on trivial issues rather than substantive policy topics. Additionally, media coverage tends to emphasize the "horse race" aspects of elections rather than exploring candidates' positions. The document also examines questions around media bias, the impact of money and transparency in elections, and the rising influence of social media.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
