PS: Political Science & Politics PS: Political Science & Politics is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on contemporary politics, teaching, and the discipline. PS is also APSA’s journal of record for the profession.

   July 2009                               VOLUME 42                              NUMBER 3


As the 2008 presidential election approached, the economy was weakening. Guest editor Michael S. Lewis-Beck and the contributors to July’s symposium, The Economy, Obama, and the 2008 Presidential Election, examine why the economy affected the outcome in favor of Barack Obama. As Lewis-Beck explains, “the data analyzed are national and individual, macro and micro, time series and survey, with the object of explaining candidate approval and candidate vote.” Ultimately, this collection of articles seeks to address the connection between the economy and voters’ candidate choices in the 2008 election.
