Issue Ownership and Presidential Campaigning, 1952-2000
John R. Petrocik, WILLIAM L. BENOIT, and GLENN J. HANSEN analyze the
nomination acceptance addresses and television advertising spots of presidential candidates
from 1952 through 2000 in order to determine whether the candidates pursued
issue-ownership strategies. The authors conclude that they did, that the issue emphases
of the candidates are echoed by the weight that voters assign to those issues in their
judgments about the candidates, and that the media may be less influential than the
candidates themselves in priming the issue concerns of the voters.
