  • Informational Rhythms of Incumbent-Dominated Congressional Elections
    Informational Rhythms of Incumbent-Dominated Congressional Elections Laurel Elms and Paul M. Sniderman INCUMBENCY ADVANTAGE AND informational asymmetries go to- gether in campaigns for the U.S. House of Representatives. It is an uncon- troversial proposition that challengers do less well on Election Day in large measure because fewer citizens know who they are and because those cit- izens that do so know less about the challenger than the incumbent (Mann and WolAnger 1980; Jacobson 1997b). The information voters have about candidates obviously matters. But when must the information, if it is to matter, be acquired? And how is what is learned about the challenger and the incumbent, and, not least, when it is learned in the course of a cam- paign, tied to what candidates actually do? By way of an analytic strategy we shall parse a question proAtably posed in quite a different context—who knew what and when? In particu- lar, we want to explore the notion of knowledge and the rhythms of its ac- quisition. We will examine candidate knowledge including and beyond simple name recognition and recall. More fundamentally, we shall argue that the signiAcance of knowledge in congressional elections hinges on when it was acquired. By applying the Arst rolling cross-sectional survey design to House elections, we will explore the informational dynamics of congressional campaigns. 221 222 Capturing Campaign Effects Informational Rhythms: Arguments and Hypotheses Our primary objective is to take seriously the dynamics of congressional campaigns. This requires exploring not only the consequences of an elec- tion campaign but also the timing of those consequences in the course of the campaign.
