Political Parties Influence Welfare Policy Support

Newspaper articles show that individuals tend to support welfare policies based on the party that endorses them rather than the policy itself. Republicans support even liberal policies if endorsed by their party, while Democrats do the same for conservative policies. This behavior reveals that people take cues on welfare support from their political affiliations, as showcased in the study titled 'It Feels Like We're Thinking' by Bartels and Akins.
