Public Opinion and Support for U.S. Presidents' Foreign Policies

University of North Texas

MICHAEL AULT

California State University, Bakersfield

We develop a model of public evaluations of U.S. foreign policies that emphasizes the role of core values and informational cues as a means to explain how the public renders judgments on complex issues. We argue that the public will most fundamentally be concerned with presidential success in maintaining U.S. peace and security and will rely heavily on presidential activities and media coverage of foreign policy events.
