The Public Religion Research Institute performed a survey of 2500 adults in August 2012 asking them about their attitudes towards many political issues. Their survey was primarily intended to elicit the attitudes of "working class" Americans versus non-working class Americans. This short book summarizes the results of their survey breaking down answers according to region, religion, past political preferences, etc.

Although the material is interesting, it is difficult to recommend the book because (a) it is a survey from 2012 and (b) it is mostly just a summary of the statistics. While reading the book, I kept asking whether it had been more meaningful for me if I had just read the raw statistics instead.

That said, such books show the value of e-books since they can be provided widely for a low price. ( )
