Campaigns & Elections

The Hoover fellowship regularly analyzes the political environment shaping government leaders’ decision making, on issues ranging from the economy and national security to public health, education, and the environment. The Institution also conducts two bi-annual polls that measure voters’ attitudes toward social, economic, and political institutions, reactions to specific government policies, and beliefs about the direction of America.

Hoover scholars examine the policy decisions of the executive branch and whether those actions fall within the responsibilities and limits of presidential power as spelled out in the US Constitution. They address the impact of presidential decision making and executive branch regulations in a broad spectrum of policy areas including national security, the economy, the environment, energy, public health, and more.
