  • Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

  • Vote Scorecard
    FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL ACTIOn VOTE SCORECARD 109TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION U.S. House of Representatives Dear Voter and Friend of the Family: Family Research Council presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 109th Congress. This Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes representing a cross section of issues affecting the family. These recorded votes occurred in the U.S. House of Representatives during the First Session of the 109th Congress. This scorecard shows how your elected officials voted on some of the critical issues involving the family. It is important to remember, however, that the votes you see here are only a few of the hundreds of recorded votes Members of Congress took in 2005. We have singled out for inclusion the most clear-cut, pro-family votes that came before Congress. The election of 2004 was touted by the media as the election that the “values voter” won. President George W. Bush was returned to the White House and pro-family candidates helped increase the Republican majority in both chambers of Congress. The House recognized the renewed importance of Congress’ role in protecting the family by passing legislation that included increased fines for indecency, protections of parental rights in cases of minors crossing state lines for an abortion, elimination of the death tax, promotion of ethical stem cell research and an attempt to halt the court-ordered starvation of Theresa Marie Schiavo. The hard fought victory of the 2004 election did not similarly translate into pro-family victories in the Senate. Bogged down by a debate over President Bush’s judicial nominees and fearful of a smaller but more vocal minority in the Senate, the Senate majority failed to act on the many initiatives taken by the House.
