Book Synopsis
As Washington elites drifted toward ideological poles over a few decades, did ordinary Americans follow their lead? This book reveals that we have responded to this trend - but not, for the most part, by becoming more extreme ourselves.

Trade Review
"The Partisan Sort is a very impressive contribution to a couple of highly contested contemporary debates in American politics. Matthew Levendusky offers a compelling explanation of why American voters increasingly align themselves with the 'correct' political party - liberals with Democrats and conservatives with Republicans - and fruitfully draws out the potential implications of this development." - Jeff Manza, New York University"
