Why voters may reward candidates who break with their own party
New research from Columbia Business School argues that voters may actually reward candidates who break with their own party rather than punish them for disloyalty. The finding challenges the assumption that party discipline is always an electoral asset, suggesting independent-minded positioning can appeal to voters tired of rigid partisanship.
Why now: Ongoing debates about partisan polarization make findings on voter attitudes toward party rebels timely.
