Issues which two parties regularly disagree provide clear partisan cues public. For these party-cue issues present slight variation thermostatic theory from (Soroka Wlezien (2010); (1995)); our “implied model.” smaller number divide along lines unrelated partisanship, so control provides no relevant clue.
