52 Support for Civil Liberties: Abstract vs. Specific Rights / Trade-Offs (Freedom vs. Security) Darren W. Davis, Public Opinion, Civil Liberties, and Security in the Post- 9/11 Context, in Understanding Public Opinion, 3rd ed. (2010). National Civil Liberties Survey, three-wave panel: Nov 01 (1450), May 03 (679), Nov 04 (349). Research since the 1950s has shown that Americans generally exhibit strong support for democratic principles (such as freedom of speech, the right to privacy, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, the right for protection against self-incrimination) in the abstract but less so when those same principles are applied to specific situations or unpopular groups (such as communists or atheists).
53 Abstract Civil Liberties necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to curb terrorism vs. preserve our freedoms even if there remains some risks of terrorism Specific Civil Liberties must carry national identity card at all times to show to police officer should be a crime to belong to or contribute money to any organization that supports international terrorism (guilt by association) govt. able to arrest and detain a noncitizen indefinitely if suspected of belonging to a terrorist organization law enforcement permitted to detain people based on racial or ethnic backgrounds if thought to be likely to commit crimes (racial profiling) high-school teachers required to defend, not criticize, America s policies warrantless searches allowed on suspicion that a crime or terrorist act is being planned wiretapping and monitoring of allowed to prevent terrorist acts those who participate in nonviolent protests against U.S. govt. should be investigated
54 Note: (1) less-than-overwhelming support even for civil liberties in the abstract following 9/11; (2) variation in levels of support for specific civil liberties; and (3) increased support over time for some but not all civil liberties (teachers criticize, guilt by association, detain noncitizens). Also...
55 (4) limited over-time stability (see column 1) in the answers given by many respondents, Cf. Converse s nonattitudes.
56 What factors determine where individuals are willing to draw the line on the trade-off between freedom and security? Three possibilities are examined: perceptions of threat, trust in government, and race. Sociotropic threat concerns (how concerned are you that the United States might suffer another terrorist attack in the next three months very, somewhat, not very, or not at all?) far outweighed perceptions of personal threat in all three waves of the survey, and played a much larger role in shaping people s support for civil liberties. Further analysis showed that...
57 Darren W. Davis, Negative Liberty (2007), p support for freedom over security was greater among those with a less acute sense of sociotropic threat, those with less trust in government, and blacks (relative to both whites and Latinos) also among liberals, younger people, less patriotic citizens, and those with less dogmatic personalities (more open-minded, tolerant of others, and less likely to defer to authority.). Surprisingly, education didn t matter much (significant only in wave 3) with the other factors taken into account.
58 Bottom line: According to Davis... What matters is how people view the trade-off between liberty and security, not their level of support for liberty (tolerance) in abstract or unconditional terms. Support for civil liberties is neither immutable nor unequivocal, but rather situational for many citizens. Following the 9/11 attacks, it was directly affected by sociotropic threat (perceived threat to society as a whole) but not by perceived personal threat (to one s physical or material self).
59 Foreign Policy Attitudes and Voting
60 Early research suggested that people s foreign policy attitudes had little impact on vote choice because those attitudes were generally unstructured and based on extremely limited information. More recent studies, however, indicate not only that Americans foreign policy attitudes are structured, meaningful, and accessible (up to a point) but they also help to determine candidate preference, especially in presidential elections. John Aldrich et al., Foreign Affairs and Issue Voting: Do Presidential Candidates Waltz Before a Blind Audience? APSR (1989). Answer: No. Foreign policy issues had a fairly large impact on presidential vote choice in 1980 and especially 1984 (as did domestic issues). The authors argued that this impact will probably vary from one election to the next according to such factors as (a) the salience of foreign policy issues/events to voters (higher salience more people having opinions, and more of those opinions being strongly held); and (b) the clarity of candidate/party stands on the issues (a more clear-cut choice was presented in than, for example, in 1968 when salience was very high w/regard to Vietnam).
61 Shana Kushner Gadarian, Foreign Policy at the Ballot Box: How Citizens Use Foreign Policy to Judge and Choose Candidates, JOP (2010). The argument: The effect of foreign policy attitudes may be asymmetrical due to issue ownership (w/republicans usually being seen as better able to hand these issues); that is, voters are expected to weigh foreign policy more heavily when evaluating Republican candidates an asymmetry that should be most prominent in elections when foreign policy issues are highly salient. Results (ANES): In elections from , respondents views about defense spending had between 2 and 7 times greater impact on their evaluations of Republican presidential candidates (feeling thermometer) compared with Democratic candidates. On the other hand, voters tended to rely more on their attitudes about domestic spending when evaluating Democratic candidates.
62 The Importance of Iraq Numerous studies, many of them based on aggregate-level analyses (states, counties), suggest that popular reaction to the war in Iraq had an impact on election results in both 04 and 06. For example... Douglas Kriner and Francis Shen, Iraq Casualties and the 2006 Senate Elections, Legislative Studies Quarterly (2007): Change in vote share from 2000 to 2006 for Republican Senate candidates at both the state and county level was significantly and negatively related to the number of local casualties in Iraq. Christian Grose and Bruce Oppenheimer, The Iraq War, Partisanship, and Candidate Attributes: Variation in Partisan Swing in the 2006 Election, Legislative Studies Quarterly (2007): Partisan swing from 04 to 06 in Republican congressional districts proved highly sensitive to the number of Iraq war deaths from that district and, to a lesser degree, to the roll-call vote of Republican House members on the war resolution.
63 Results such as these appear to support the casualties hypothesis, i.e., that public support for war is inversely related to the number of war-related deaths. Or, if it s not casualties per se, perhaps public opinion is moved by other events associated with a war. (Good example: The Tet Offensive in Vietnam, January 1968.) Well, maybe not... There is also the possibility that partisanship ( mediated reality ) has a lot to do with shaping how voters perceive such things. Remember this from earlier in the course? PIPA/Knowledge Networks, October 2003
64 The role of partisanship in shaping public opinion about Iraq is explored by: Adam J. Berinsky, Public Opinion and the Iraq War, in Understanding Public Opinion, 3rd ed. (2010).
65 And then, a few years later (2011)...
66 The role of information (or, as Berinsky describes it, awareness of and attentiveness to the cues provided by party leaders)... Adam Berinsky in Understanding Public Opinion, 3rd ed. (2010)
