Abstract
This paper investigates the concept of “ethnic voting ” in the 1989 New York Mayoral campaign. The ethnic voting hypothesis holds that when other independent variables such as party, income, and ideology are controlled, ethnic identity should exert a significant impact on candidate selection. Results indicate that ethnicity exerts a strong impact on the vote, particularly among African American and Jewish respondents, with strong loyalty to candidates of their own ethnic group.
