Outline of Final Research Achievements

Maintaining high approval rating is indispensable for the Prime Minister to stay in power. This study examines the images of prime minister in the public mind. In particular, I analyze how these images influence his approval rating, and how these evaluations lead to individual voting decision on the Election Day using the large scale election survey data (JES-IV). Special effort is made to classifying the answers to the open-ended question on like/dislike about the prime minister. Those classifications, in turn, are used to test the hypothesis regarding how the image of the prime minister affects voters' approval.
