Description
Summary:The article analyses the impact of social stratification & ideological identification on voting behavior in the Brazilian Presidential elections of 2002 & 2006, and, specifically, it identifies the values & attitudes associated with the vote for Lula. The analysis is based on the 2 waves of the ESEB (Brazilian Electoral Study) & it shows that in 2002, the social stratification was not a relevant factor in the explanation of presidential voting, especially the vote for Lula, associated with the self-ideological identification of citizens; in 2006, the situation is the opposite. However, in the 2 presidential campaigns, the vote for Lula is strongly explained by the voters identification with the candidate. Tables, Charts, References. Adapted from the source document.
