Midterm: The Elections of 1994 in Context
Click to see larger.
Midterm: The Elections of 1994 in Context examines the electoral and policy changes so rarely seen in American elections. It examines the contemporary concerns unique to the 1994 election: the role of the religious right, the “angry white male,” the Contract with America, and voter antipathy toward the first two years of the Clinton administration.

Theodore Eismeier, the James L. Ferguson Professor of Government at Hamilton College, is also a contributor
