Politicians’ perceptions of how citizens decide which party to vote for matter for how they behave in between elections. Yet, except for three older studies, a systematic assessment of how political actors today conceive of citizens’ voting motiv

Politicians' Reading of Public Opinion and its Biases ISBN: 0192866028
The chapter shows that the reluctance of politicians to follow public opinion is a normative ideal rather than an empirical reality. Once politicians are asked about their daily work, it immediately becomes clear that their public opinion perceptions

This chapter deals with how good politicians think they are at estimating public opinion. A majority of politicians are confident about the accuracy of their estimations of public opinion on specific policy proposals. Still, they also display awarene

The chapter looks at politicians’ estimations of public opinion in the aggregate and finds that, as a group, Belgian politicians do not really hold accurate perceptions. Collectively, they make relatively big mistakes, with misjudgments of popular

The concluding chapter reiterates the main findings of the book: politicians care intensely about public opinion, try hard to form a correct picture of it, and largely follow public opinion when acting. As much as they want to, they often cannot succ
