Voters' political ideology remains comparatively consistent with little change over time relative to election results. Why? How do political socialization and selective exposure impact this?
Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Define political socialization and relate factors that contribute to a voter's political preferences.
2. Explain selective exposure. This dynamic, coupled with political socialization, limits the amount of new information that voters are exposed to, which decreases the chance of ideological shifts.
