Larry M. Bartels of Princeton University discusses why presidential candidate Barack Obama is actually doing remarkably well among white working class voters relative to past Democratic presidential candidates and why two factors that have contributed to Republican party success in presidential elections over the past 60 years are working in Obama's favor in 2008.

The analysis draws from Larry Bartels's most recent book, Unequal Democracy: The Political Economy of the New Gilded Age (Princeton University Press and Russell Sage Foundation, 2008).

Part 2 of 14 from "American Inequality and the 2008 Election," a panel discussion sponsored by the Harvard Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality & Social Policy, October 21, 2008.
