CLEP US Government

Category - Elections

On average, which of the following candidates is most likely to win an election?
  1. The tall, good looking man.
  2. The older man who has a war injury.
  3. The younger woman who is wearing braces.
  4. The middle-aged man with a “beer belly”.
  5. The woman in her 60s.
Explanation
Answer: A - It’s sad to say, but Americans will generally vote for the good looking candidate, all things being equal. The higher the elected office, the more likely this is. Unattractive presidential candidates rarely get very far, especially if they look like they are out of shape. This has become especially true in the television age.
