Gap politics

Article Abstract:

The political gender gap became a factor in the midterm 1994 congressional elections when 57% of the GOP vote came from males and 54% of the Democratic vote came from women. The political issues dividing the sexes are not only women-related ones. Welfare and other social problems also divide the sexes.

Article Abstract:

Congress has become too responsive to public opinion and is addressing an increasing number of issues with bills that are too complex and detailed. TV news coverage adds to the problem by emphasizing conflict. Narrowing the agenda of Congress would be the most effective political reform.
