| Summary |
"In Ideology and Congress, authors Poole and Rosenthal have analyzed over 13 million individual roll call votes. By tracing the voting patterns of Congress throughout the country's history, the authors find that, despite a wide array of issues facing legislators, over 81 percent of their voting decisions can be attributed to a consistent ideological position ranging from ultraconservatism to ultraliberalism. In this new, paperback volume, the authors include nineteen years of additional data from 1986 through 2004"--Jacket |
