No more guessing — this book provides a deep dive into just what happened in 2020, digging into election results and public opinion surveys at a granular level. The authors investigate a central question in modern U.S. politics: whether 2020 marked a durable shift in the fortunes of the political parties that will affect the way elections play out in the years and decades to come.

The latest installment of this valuable series comes at a time when political turmoil makes it particularly difficult to disentangle continuity and change. Beneath the uncommon features of recent elections, the authors demonstrate persistent party, institutional, and behavioral patterns as well as trends that have been evolving over many cycles.
