Abstract

While some persist in arguing that Arkansas politics is inexplicable in any systematic way, others continue to attempt to find some reliable, predictable patterns in regional political preferences and voting behavior. In 1984, Savage and Blair reviewed the intrastate distinctions that had been traditionally offered in explanation of Arkansas politics, and then tested some of those generalizations against contemporary public opinion data.
