    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Effectiveness of Campaign Messages On Turnout and Vote Choice A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Sylvia Yu Friedel 2013 ©Copyright by Sylvia Yu Friedel 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Effectiveness of Campaign Messages On Turnout and Vote Choice by Sylvia Yu Friedel Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Lynn Vavreck, Chair In this dissertation, I study campaign effects on turnout and vote choice. I analyze different campaign messages and the way they affect voters across various situations. First, through an online survey experiment, I study the impact of campaign messages and ideological cues on voters as they make inferences on candidates. Next, through a field experiment, I test whether microtargeted messages or general messages on the economy have any effect on turnout. Lastly, using online survey data, I examine how cross-pressured voters behave electorally when holding an opposing party’s position on social issues. These three studies indicate that different messages do, in fact, matter. Furthermore, voters are not fools—they are reasoning and rational. While partisanship does continue to heavily impact voting decisions, voters do consider issue positions and different voting dimensions (i.e., social, economic, moral). In light of this, campaigns should continue their efforts to persuade and inform the electorate. ii The dissertation

While it is not possible to predict how much money will be spent between now and November 2, it may be useful to compare the levels of spending in this year’s primary campaign with that of previous election cycles. In this report, “Breaking the Bank,” staff of the Fair Political Practices Commission determined the spending of each candidate in every California gubernatorial primary since 1978 and calculated the actual spending per vote cast—in 2010 dollars—as candidates sought their party’s nomination. The conclusion: over time, gubernatorial primary elections have become more costly and fewer people turnout at the polls. But that only scratches the surface of what has happened since 19781. Other highlights of the report include: Since 1998, the rise of the self-funded candidate has dramatically increased the cost of running for governor in California.

Just how much do they need to raise for the general-election race? In elections held in 2003 and 2004, state House seats attracted $104,000, on average across the country, while state Senate seats brought in an average of $221,000. But that was mere pocket change for some races. 78 legislative races in 12 states hit the million- dollar mark in the general election. Together, these races brought in nearly $155 million, or 20 percent of the $758 million raised in all general-election legislative races. California led the pack with 27 races in which candidates raised more than $1 million combined for the general-election race. Illinois placed a distant second, with 12 million-dollar races. Texas was third, with nine races, while New York had eight. Of the 12 states with million-dollar races, five had no contribution limits — Illinois, Indiana, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas. For a list of all million-dollar legislative races in each of the 12 states, see Appendix A. The exorbitant price tag of these races was due to a variety of factors. More than one-third of the races — or 28 of the 78 — took place in historically-expensive districts.1 In others, the power of incumbency played a key role.
