| Summary: | The research reported here analyzed what factors influenced the vote for an avowed Christian Right candidate who ran for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from the state of Indiana in the Fall of 1986. The Christian Right candidate was rather easily beaten. But this candidate was able to draw some support from politically conservative Fundamentalists and from "Old Guard" Republicans who probably always vote Republican. The Christian Right candidate was able to obtain a high percentage of the vote from Republicans who were also older politically conservative Fundamentalists, but these were few in number. The implications of these findings indicate that Christian Right candidates will have great difficulty in obtaining elective office at the federal level. |
