Stanley Kelley, Jr., offers a new way of interpreting election outcomes without relying on the kind of arbitrary speculation usually elicited by this and other questions. He examines presidential elections from 1952 to 1981), with emphasis on the Johnson and Nixon landslides.

Originally published in 1983.
