Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about voters' attribution of election outcomes, first on the day after the election and then a year later. Choice C is the most likely answer because voters are more likely to attribute election outcomes to candidates' personal traits and positions immediately after the election, but a year later, they are more likely to attribute it to the nation's economy. This is because the economy is a more long-term factor that can influence public opinion over time. Choices A and B are unlikely because they both focus on factors that are not as significant as candidates' positions and personal traits. Choice D is also unlikely because voters are more likely to attribute election outcomes to candidate-related factors rather than the economy a year later.
