Although presidents may have a difficult time actually leading - that is, changing public attitudes on policy or convincing other politicians to support their policies - voters still want a president who is a strong leader. Presidential Leadership in Public Opinion looks at the factors that affect voters' perceptions of the president, perceptions that, ultimately, affect presidential approval ratings, attitudes about Congress, and voter trust toward government in general.
