Voter Knowledge of Congressional Issue Positions: A Reassessment.

Songer, Donald R.

Social Science Quarterly, v62 n3 p424-31 Sep 1981

In a modified replication of the Miller-Stokes study, constituents from two Oklahoma congressional districts were interviewed to see how well they could identify the names of their members of congress and their stands on five issues. Results showed that participants were more politically informed than the Miller-Stokes study would have predicted. (Author/AM)
