What is an individual's party identification -- define and give an example. Scholars describe party id as a "running tally" -- describe what that means. As discussed in lecture, party id is "the one thing you need to know" about an individual to understand their political thinking and behavior - explain why. How do scholars use aggregate-level data on party id (such as: the percentage of democratic identifiers in a district) - what does this data help them predict?
