Areas of Research/Interest: Methodology, voting behavior, voter turnout, latino voting, campaigns and elections, and specifically the relative impact of the economy and issues on voting.
About Me: I am a Professor of Politics,
as well as the Director of the Politics
Data Center. I recently completed a book on voter turnout in the United
States from 1972-2008 (Who Votes Now?
Demographics, Issues, Inequality, and Turnout in the United States ,
forthcoming Princeton University Press).
My Current Work: I am working on projects on the impact
of economics on elections, and on the impact of social media
on political participation. The later is currently funded by
a grant from the INSPIRE program of NSF, our
lab website
describes some our work.
