Analyzing American voting behavior in the most recent election, as well as setting the results in the context of larger historical patterns, this book focuses on presidential and congressional elections, voter turnout, and the social forces, party loyalties, and prominent issues that affect voting behavior.
Is America in the midst of an electoral transformation? What were the sources of victory in 2024, and how do they differ from Republican and Democratic coalitions of the past? Does the Republican victory signal a long-term decline for Democrats’ chances in presidential elections?
Change and Continuity in the 2024 Elections attempts to answer those questions by analyzing and explaining the voting behavior in the most recent election, as well as setting the results in the context of larger historical trends and patterns in elections studies. This top-notch author team meticulously explains the latest National Election Studies data and discusses its importance and impact. Readers will critically analyze a variety of variables such as the presidential and congressional elections, voter turnout, and the social forces, party loyalties, and prominent issues that affect voting behavior. Readers will walk away with a better understanding of this groundbreaking election and what those results mean for the future of American politics.

Students gain a factual understanding of what happened in recent elections and a broader theoretical foundation to make sense of elections to come." * Barry Burden, University of Wisconsin-Madison *
"This excellent series is now well into its fifth decade, and continues to be the go-to volume for a deep dive into the voter behavior data that links federal elections past and present. An essential book for any course on campaigns and elections, the authors provide rich detail on the 2024 election cycle, while also placing that contest into its larger historical context. The result is a stimulating survey of decades of American politics through the lens of American voters, highlighting what has changed over the years and what has remained the same. I can't imagine teaching my own elections course without it. Highly recommended!" * David Crockett, Trinity University *

At a time of bewildering changes in American campaigns and elections, this book provides vital historical context.” * Robert Boatwright, Clark University *
“Like its predecessors, Change and Continuity in the 2024 Elections is an invaluable resource that compiles extensive data to help scholars and students understand voter behavior and explain presidential and congressional election outcomes.” * John Dinan, Wake Forest University *
