Book Synopsis
An often-forgotten passage of Philip Converse's classic essay on mass belief systems introduced the concept of an issue public-a segment of voters that has crystallized attitudes about a particular topic. This simple idea could provide an important corrective to work that casts citizens' political competence in a negative light.
