If your time is short
  • The claim that the types of transgressions affecting campaigns have changed over time is supported by research showing scandals now have less impact and voters prioritize policy performance, suggesting a shift from personal moral transgressions to issues like spending and public trust.
  • However, direct evidence enumerating specific changed transgression types is limited, leading to a moderate confidence rating.
