Description

Book Synopsis
An ambitious study that addresses some of the most important questions in contemporary American politics: Do presidents pander to public opinion by backing popular policy measures that they believe would actually harm the country? Why do presidents "go public" with policy appeals? And do those appeals affect legislative outcomes?

Trade Review
"This book offers one of the most comprehensive empirical analyses of presidential rhetoric and public opinion. It is original, methodologically rigorous, and important to scholars of the presidency and the relationship of public opinion and policy more generally." - Lawrence Jacobs, coauthor of Politicians Don't Pander"
