These increasingly mobile and integrated campaigns face the growing influence of outside interests. Evaluate current trends and assess how campaigns are making cutting-edge changes on the presidential, congressional, and gubernatorial levels with Campaigns on the Cutting Edge. The thoroughly updated fourth edition focuses on the use of social media and online surveying tools in campaigns, the evolution of voter mobilization, the growth of "fake news," and the increased representation of women, African Americans, Latino Americans, and Asian Americans not only in the electoral force, but also in the campaign organization.
