Part of the "Great Questions in Politics" series, Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America combines polling data with a compelling narrative to debunk commonly-believed myths about American politics–particularly the claim that Americans are deeply divided in their fundamental political views. This second edition of Culture War? features a new chapter that demonstrates how the elections of 2004 reinforce the book’s argument that Americans are no more divided now than they were in the past. In addition, the text has been updated throughout to reflect data from the 2004 elections.

Preface.

7. Have Electoral Cleavages Shifted?

8. The 2004 Election and Beyond.

9. Reconciling Micro and Macro.

10. How Did It Come to This and Where Do We Go From Here?
