How much do race, gender, and income impact political influence? A recent study published in the NYU Law Review by University of Chicago law professor Nicholas Stephanopoulos provides significant insights.
Stephanopoulos utilized exit poll data to analyze the influence of race, gender, and income on policy-making in cases of major demographic disagreements. For instance, he examined how men and women, or whites and African Americans, differed on issues such as raising the minimum wage or mandating health insurance, and how these differences affected policy outcomes.
