A valence issue is a political issue about which voters will usually share a common preference. Prosperity is a common valence issue. All voters will want their community to prosper and so the consideration is not whether to seek prosperity or not but instead the issue is which party is most likely to deliver it. Further examples include the desire for high economic growth, low inflation, low unemployment, a strong national defence, high quality education and healthcare, sufficient housing and adequate transport infrastructure. Valence issues may be contrasted with position issues — divisive issues for which there are different preferences. In a study of campaigns for the US Senate, candidates focussed upon valence issues in 77% of their advertising. The issues identified as positional or valence were: ==Positional== *Abortion *Apartheid *Civil rights *Congressional pay *Death penalty *Foreign aid *Gulf war *Gun control *Israel *School prayer *Taxes *Term limits 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Valence issue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
