Description
Summary:To assess the impact of the Christian Right on the 1984 Presidential election, a random sample of three hundred and fifty-one residents of "Middle-town" were interviewed. Crosstabulation and multivariate analyses indicated that although political/religious factors had more of an influence on Reagan's election in 1984 than in 1980, moderate, not high, Christian Rightists supported Reagan, and the Moral Majority had a negative impact since there were more anti-Moral Majority voters who voted for Mondale than pro-Moral Majority voters who voted for Reagan.
