1 relating to a governor of a US state:
a gubernatorial election
This finding helps explain why earlier studies found no connection between state-level economic conditions and gubernatorial elections.
Because voters separately elected several agency administrators, gubernatorial control of the executive branch and patronage powers were weak.
This result provided little surprise considering that, as discussed above, previous researchers have reached markedly different conclusions about whether presidential popularity impacts gubernatorial elections.
In addition, the timing of a state's gubernatorial election relative to the presidential election cycle proves important.
In the longer run, the critical 1946 gubernatorial election wrecked the party's more progressive faction for almost two decades.
Even when they did report to the governor, the sheer number of such agencies made gubernatorial 20.
Gubernatorial elections turn out to be a more promising environment in which to test for contagion effects.
Statistical tests for contagion effects in sequential presidential and gubernatorial elections are also conducted.
