question 15
1 pts
true or false: political candidates are faced with the simultaneous challenge of addressing arguments to political partisans who already share their ideology as well as undecided voters who may not share their ideology.
true
false

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Demographic traits (like age, gender) do not perfectly align with an individual's attitudes and values; people within the same demographic can hold very different beliefs, so demographics are not reliable predictors.
2. For Question 15: Political candidates need to mobilize their existing partisan base (who agree with their ideology) while also persuading undecided voters (who may not share their views) to win elections, so this is a standard challenge they face.

Answer:

1. False
2. True
