Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Identify the primary reason for not voting, stating that voters had problems registering, were not interested in voting, or were too busy to vote.
2. Discuss the shift to Internet use for campaigns, which lowers the cost for candidates and voters to participate in elections. The high levels of Internet use are associated with higher voter mobilization.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Provide examples of issues where public opinion is stable and unstable. For example, public opinion on issues related to core values such as abortion and the death penalty are often more stable, whereas public opinion on issues less related to core values such as how the president is performing are less stable.
2. Explain why this difference in stability exists and why core values matter.
