Knowledge in the 2000 Primary Elections

Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania

The research reported in this article set out to explore the variation in political knowledge over time during the 2000 presidential primaries. Knowledge is broken down into three distinct types: candidate awareness, biography, and policy. Results show that citizens did learn substantive amounts of information during the campaign and that learning and overall levels of knowledge were most pronounced in respondents who lived in a state where a primary was held and was competitive.
