John Mueller receives Warren Mitofsky Award
John Mueller is the recipient of the first Warren E. Mitofsky Award
for Excellence in Public Opinion Research for his book Wars,
Presidents and Public Opinion New York: Wiley, 1973). As stated
in the award committee’s citation, “In
the field of political science and public opinion research, Mueller
was the initial leader in analyzing the effect of wars on public
opinion, the effect of casualties on public support for wars, and
how wars, casualties, economic conditions, and political conflict
that occur over time affect support for American presidents. The
ideas and arguments about how economic slumps and casualties affect
public opinion, and the ‘rally round the flag’ effect that we take
for granted in public discourse owe much to Mueller's seminal book.”
