Example text

Contemporary Republican ANES respondents cite straightforward conservative principles such as limited government and opposition to liberalism in explaining their views, rather than using ideological language in the service of group-​based appeals. In fact, it is Democratic respondents who more commonly link their group references to ideological language: even the minority of Democrats categorized as ideologues often combine their stated principles with citations of group interest. The concentration of ideologically minded voters in the Republican Party does not indicate that Republicans are more concerned with the substance of policy than are Democrats.

7 or above. For Democrats, the median and modal position was 5, while the median and modal Republican chose a self-​placement of 8. A similar asymmetry exists in the evaluations of ideological groups by partisans on both sides. The ANES asks respondents to rate political figures and groups on a “feeling thermometer” ranging from 0 (the most negative possible response) to 100 (the most positive possible response). 6 units, or one-​third of the maximum possible difference. 8 units, or only half the size of the Republican gap.

In the policymaking arena, Democrats have responded to conservative critiques by advancing proposals that incorporate markets, build incrementally on existing institutions, minimize the role of bureaucracies, and decentralize responsibility. Republicans have thus succeeded in limiting visible expansions of government’s size, but not in reducing the breadth of national policy goals. Party asymmetry is at the root of much that is distinctive about American politics and government. We synthesize a wide variety of research in order to document the most consequential differences between Democrats and Republicans and emphasize their widespread implications.
