Being an Underdog Or a Frontrunner: the Effects of Candidate Labels on Voters’ Responses
Despite pervasive use of the underdog and frontrunner labels in elections, related studies are still scant. This study examines the relative effects of labeling candidates as underdogs vs. frontrunners in political communications and explores the moderation of candidate-related and voter-related variables. Research results contribute to political-marketing theories and practices.
