The chart compares responses from non-voters (dark blue) and voters (light blue) on four liberal policy questions: making union organizing easier, increasing federal assistance for schools, government guaranteeing jobs, and providing universal health insurance. In all categories, non-voters report significantly higher percentages of agreement-e.g., 80% vs. 67% on school aid and 73% vs. 59% on union rights. Data is sourced from Jan Leighley and Jonathan Nagler (2007).
