I’m working on a political science discussion question and need an explanation to help me study.

(1) Please read the following article from the Brookings Institute, a prominent Washington DC-based think tank. Then answer the following questions: (1) What is the theme/main argument of the article? (2) How do the findings and economic/income data apply to the “Reverse Income Effect”? (3) How do these findings apply to the party polarization that we have discussed in class?

(2) Drawing from Bardes (ch. 8), please describe and explain what “wave” elections are. Then describe those recent wave elections that have benefited both the Democratic and Republican parties.
