HOW OPINIONS DIFFER Opinion saliency: some people care more about certain issues than other people do Opinion Stability: some issues or choices opinions are steady, while on others they are more volatile Opinion-policy congruence: some issues government is in sync with popular views, while on other issues it is significantly out of sync

Political Socialization Personal and other background traits influence one’s views about politics and government matters Your surroundings influence your political and Government beliefs

THE ELITE People who have a disproportionate share of some valued resource (money) Know more about politics Hold more or less a consistent set of political beliefs Government attends more to the elite views than the popular vies
