Signals are interpreted through a lens of class exposure.
Each signal carries has its specific effect.
Economic reasoning is structured, but unequally distributed.
Not all voters process signals the same way:
– High-knowledge voters make more accurate and nuanced inferences
– High-income voters place more weight on stock markets
– Labor market position has surprisingly little impact
– Inflation strongly affects personal/national evaluations and vote choice
– Unemployment matters for all outcomes, but less consistently
– GDP influences national more than personal assessments
– Stocks influences personal evaluations, but matters less for voting
