"Further-more, partisan attachments powerfully shape political perceptions, beliefs and values, and incumbents enjoy advantages well beyond the way in which their districts are configured."
Values
"With the parties at virtual parity and the ideological gulf between them never greater, the stakes of majority control of Congress are extremely high."
Control
"All of this suggests that while citizens became more comfortable with President Bush after September 11 and thought him to have the requisite leadership skills, they continue to harbor doubts about his priorities, loyalties, interests, and policies."
Leadership
"America is an outlier in the world of democracies when it comes to the structure and conduct of elections."
Electoral
"In addition to the decline in competition, American politics today is characterized by a growing ideological polarization between the two major political parties."
Politics
"But presidential approval also became a surrogate measure of national unity and patriotism."
Patriotism
"In the House, Republican prospects have been buoyed by several successful rounds of redistricting, which have sharply reduced the number of competitive seats and given the Republicans a national advantage of at least a dozen seats."
Success
"Redistricting is a deeply political process, with incumbents actively seeking to minimize the risk to themselves (via bipartisan gerrymanders) or to gain additional seats for their party (via partisan gerrymanders)."
Gain
"Congress requires states to draw single-member districts."
Legislature
"While Republican voters have remained universally supportive of their President, Democrats and Independents are returning to a more naturally critical stance."
