What is the effect of ideology on public opinion in America? Do people really think in ideological terms? Does the liberal conservative dimension adequately capture how Americans feel about political issues?
The effect of ideology on public opinion in the U.S. is contradictory because americans are ideological conservatives but operational liberals or in other words conservative in principal and liberal in practice. The small percentage of people who think in an ideological way are called ideologues. But many people decide how to vote and what they believe about in politics depending on factors such as personalities, how the economy is going now/ who is in power and if the leader is linked with good fortune. So a large percentage of people are voting based on nature of times or no issue content rather than thinking ideologically.
