I have attached the topic I’d like for you to do this paper on. I have also attached the resources I’d like for you to use.
Ensure you read my instructions.
Resources you are to use:
1. Berinsky, A. J. (2009). “In Time of War:
Understanding American Public Opinion from
World War II to Iraq.” University of Chicago Press.
- Shafer, B. E., & Claggett, W. (1995). “The Two Majorities: The Issue Context of Modern American Politics.” Johns Hopkins University Press.
- Jacobson, G. C. (2003). “The Politics of Congressional Elections.” Pearson.

“Anatomy of a Crisis: The Collapse of the Democratic Majority.” Pearson.
You must have a specific research question and address both sides of the question or issue. Four scholarly or academically appropriate references are required. It must also include a recent news article from that was published during this course to illustrate the topic.
A good research question asks how one factor affects another factor. It should not be a yes or no question.
It also must be answerable with existing data and evidence.
Examples:
Good – “How have social media affected voter turnout in statewide elections?” This relates factor one, social media, to factor two, voter turnout. Historical evidence can be used to answer it.
Not as good – “Have social media affected voter turnout in statewide elections?” It’s a closed ended question, and often the answer is “it depends” instead of “yes” or “no.”
Not acceptable – “How will voter turnout change if parties use more social media?” The question can’t be answered because the events in question are in the future. They haven’t happened yet, so there’s no way to examine the evidence.
