In this book, Martin Wattenberg aims to offer an in-depth interpretation of the presidential elections of the 1980s, illuminating current theories of political behaviour and how they operate in today's candidate-centred politics. He investigates the impact that the declining relevance of political parties has had on presidential politics and finds that although candidates have become more prominent, their popularity has spiralled downwards.
