  • Beschreibung: Gallup data indicating presidential popularity from 1950 to 1974 are analyzed in a distributed lag model which tests the importance of key economic influences. Results indicate that inflation and military expenditures are statistically significant and politically important influences on presidential popularity. The success of this model in revealing hitherto undetected economic influence calls into question the nonfindings of previous simple linear analyses and suggests the need for more sophisticated models which provide, through the use of time lags and cumulative impacts, a more complex pattern of economic influence on presidential popularity.
