| Summary / Abstract (Note) | We believe the economy was much on voters' minds in the 2008 presidential election. More formally, a traditional economic retrospective voting theory-electors disapprove of past economic conditions and vote against the government-should serve well as an explanation of Obama's victory (Fiorina 1981; Lewis-Beck 1988, 34). |
