Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this article is to examine what drives individual attitudes toward their governor with a focus on the role of place attachment as a means of diffuse support. Methods: Using original surveys from March and May 2020, we test the role of place attachment in explaining gubernatorial approval. Results: We find state or place attachment is a strong predictor of gubernatorial approval especially among individuals who live in a state with a governor from the other party. Conclusion: State attachment can be an important and unique influence on political attitudes toward state politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
