Morris Fiorina on Polarization, Stability, and the State of the Electorate

<p>Morris Fiorina, the Wendt Family Professor of Political Science and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow at Stanford University, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the state of the American electorate and recent election results.
