Voting is an examination of the factors that make people vote the way they do. Based on the famous Elmira Study, carried out by a team of skilled social scientists during the 1948 presidential campaign, it shows how voting is affected by social class, religious background, family loyalties, on-the-job relationships, local pressure groups, mass communication media, and other factors. Still highly relevant, Voting is one of the most frequently cited books in the field of voting behavior.

This study describes how people make up their minds in a presidential campaign. The authors were among the first to use a now accepted method of social research - the panel, or repeated interview technique-to achieve a step-by-step account of how representative voters arrived at final vote decisions in the 1940. elections. The present edition explores : mutual interaction between variables; the possible effects of re-interviewing the same respondents; and how much has materialized of the "further research needed" recommendations of the previous edition.

"One of the main theses of the Marienthal study was that prolonged unemployment leads to a state of apathy in which the victims do not utilize any longer even the few opportunities left to them. The vicious cycle between reduced opportunities and reduced level of aspiration has remained the focus of all subsequent discussions." So begin the opening remarks to the English-language edition of what has become a major classic in the literature of social stratification.
