Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Indicate that the primaries are designed to determine who will represent the parties in the general election.
2. Discuss how in the primaries, the candidates have to appeal to more extreme voters within their parties.
3. Discuss how once the candidates receive their party nominations, they have to embark on the general election campaign. This often involves appealing to more moderate voters.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Discuss how public opinion polls, like tracking polls, are used by the media.
2. Discuss how tracking where the candidates stand in the polls creates horse-race coverage of the election. Journalists use polling data to predict election outcomes.
