There has been much advancement in the field of public opinion research in the past few years, particularly with respect to the formation of policy attitudes in response to elite rhetoric, the translation of policy information into attitudes, and the biological foundations of policy attitudes. Much of the progress made in these areas of study can be attributed to the increased use of innovative, experimental methods and new data sources. Nonetheless, unresolved issues persist, such as whether there is an identifiable genetic basis of policy attitudes and the extent to which cultural versus partisan orientations drive opinions. This review will discuss both new findings in the field and identify areas that require further research. Adapted from the source document.
