“…In other words, it appears that voters with very warm feelings toward racial minorities are decreasingly supportive of Conservatives, while voters with very cold feelings toward racial minorities are decreasingly supportive of the NDP. This mirror image between NDP and Conservative support suggests the emergence of polarization on racial attitudes, paralleling that observed in US elections since the 2008 Obama candidacy (for example, Sides et al, 2018;Algara and Hale, 2020). In sum, the results presented in Figure 5 suggest support for the theoretical expectation underlying H1b: that the shift in NDP support across periods among voters with cold feelings toward minorities is exceptional.…”

“…Scholarship in the following years clearly identified that voters with negative attitudes toward racial minorities were less likely to support President Obama in both his historic 2008 run (for example, Lewis-Beck et al, 2010; Clarke et al, 2011; Piston, 2010) and his 2012 re-election (Knuckey and Kim, 2015). Negative attitudes toward racial minorities also depressed the vote shares of Democratic candidates in the 2009–2020 time period (for example, Abrajano and Hajnal, 2015; Algara and Hale, 2019, 2020; Hale, 2019), by dint of the party's association with racial liberalism and racial minorities.…”

This article examines the effect of racial attitudes on the electoral performance of the New Democratic Party (NDP). Since 2017, the NDP has been led by Jagmeet Singh, the first non-white leader of a nationally competitive Canadian political party. Voters’ racial attitudes and the race of party leaders have a significant effect on vote choice in the United States. Less is known about whether similar effects exist in Canadian elections. I show that NDP vote choice polarized on the basis of racial attitudes following Singh's ascension to party leader. Voters with cold feelings toward racial minorities were less likely to vote for the NDP in 2019 and 2021 than in comparable historical elections. In contrast, there is no significant difference between 2019/2021 and prior elections in support for the Liberals and Conservatives among such voters. These results suggest that racial attitudes are salient in Canadian elections and that national parties may face an electoral penalty when selecting non-white party leaders.

“…The appeal to racially conservative whites clearly played an important role in Trump's success in 2016 (Reny, Collingwood, and Valenzuela 2019). This strategy also seemed to benefit down-ballot Republican candidates, and the effect persisted through at least the 2018 midterms (Algara and Hale 2020).…”

Two parallel processes structure American politics in the current moment: partisan polarization and the increasing linkage between racial attitudes and issue preferences of all sorts. We develop a novel theory that roots these two trends in historical changes in party coalitions. Changing racial compositions of the two major parties led to the formation of racialized images about Democrats and Republicans in people’s minds—and these images now structure Americans’ partisan loyalties and policy preferences. We test this theory in three empirical studies. First, using the American National Election Studies we trace the growing racial gap in party coalitions as well as the increasing overlap between racial and partisan affect. Then, in two original survey studies we directly measure race–party schemas and explore their political consequences. We demonstrate that race–party schemas are linked to partisan affect and issue preferences—with clear implications for the recent developments in U.S. politics.

“…In general, an attitude consists of three components namely cognitive, affective and conative (behavioral tendencies). Information is received by an individual through the process of assimilation, synthesis, and evaluation, then it results in new values which later will be accommodated or assimilated with previously existing knowledge in the individual's brain (Algara & Hale, 2020). The process produces an evaluation of something that is believed to be good, right, bad, wrong, and the like (Sude et al, 2021).…”

Radicalism is an important issue in Indonesia and it starts penetrating into higher education institutions. Young generation becomes a proper target to spread such radicalism. This present research is aimed at analyzing the radicalism attitude tendency among university students. The instrument employed is the results of the adaptation and modification from the Activism-Radicalism Intention Scale (ARIS) and the University Students’ Attitude Tendency. Then, an analysis of the causing factors and the dynamics of such radicalism attitude is also discussed in this present research. It was found that 44.5% university students tended to have a low radicalism attitude tendency, 5.6% high, and 11.3% very high. Their age ranged from 16-26 years. Interestingly, the low rate of the radicalism attitude tendency is predicted to be higher, if no preventive action is immediately taken. This prediction is that the results of analysis using Bandura’s social cognitive theory namely behavior, environment, and person would greatly contribute to the formation of the radicalism attitude. The contribution of this present research to the literature is made by providing innovative ways to detect the radicalism attitude tendency among university students, the causing factors, and the dynamic of the formation of such attitude.
