Voter behavior is influenced by various factors such as demographics, including age, race, and education, as well as psychological factors like individual beliefs and party identification. Additionally, political socialization, shaped by family, peers, and media, plays a crucial role. Economic conditions and major events (e.g., wars, scandals) can also sway voter sentiment. Furthermore, campaign strategies and the competitiveness of races may impact turnout and selection. Understanding these dynamics is critical for political parties and candidates as they mobilize support and engage constituents.
