Recenzje

'This is an important study with relevant findings, and its conclusions are accessible for those outside political science. While Cavari's research only extends through the Obama years, this approach is sure to provide a useful starting point for future scholars in understanding Donald Trump's presidential messaging and its effect on public opinion, especially when viewed through the lens of the current hyper-partisan political environment.' Lori Cox Han, Public Opinion Quarterly
