Economic issue effects (“sociotropic” effects) are found to eclipse “pocketbook” effects on the vote for shifting Danish governments in cross‐section surveys of the general elections of 1987. 1990 and 1994. Voter stands on the economic issue, Denmark's economic conditions, are in turn affected by left‐right orientation and by images of the competing governments as managers of the economy and in the aggregate differ markedly from real economic growth.
