Beschreibungen/Notizen
All manner of political observers are fascinated by “gaps”
in voting behavior. Whether it is the now-famous gender gap, the newly
discovered religion gap, or the once-prominent generation gap, sharp
differences in partisanship and voting behavior often emerge around
commonplace demographic characteristics such as gender, worship
attendance, and age. These gaps are not just intrinsically interesting;
they also offer a potent way to understand election results. Like batting
averages in baseball, such simple statistics offer the power of language
in describing the political world.
