because of the undermined level of poverty in most of the cities.

Linn S. and Nagler J. Economic Voting and Economic Inequality:
US Presidential Elections 1952–2012. 2014. Print. The authors commenced their arguments in this
article by stating that the state of the national economy of the United States
has a significant impact on both congressional and presidential elections (Linn,
32). The authors explained that most of
the people in the United States look at the level of the economic development
in the country to determine whether the incumbent deserves the vote. Therefore,
people living in areas whereby income is not evenly distributed may remain
reluctant towards the voting process taking place in the country. They keep on
blaming different parties for failing to provide an economy that positively
contributes to the increase of their income.
Aaron Carpenter. The Advantage of Wealth: How partisan success is affected by rising
income inequality in the United States. 2016. Print. Income inequality is an ideology within the
United States that kept on growing since the Second World War. The author of this article examined the idea
contained in this statement using the congressional districts that existed
between 2006 and 2010. The author came to a conclusion that income inequality
tends to be a small explication to the Republican success (Aaron, 42). Moreover, the article outlined that party
affiliations in the United States have been divided into the class lines
whereby the rich individuals offer a favor on the Republican candidates while
most of the poor people show their favor on the Democrats. This situation shows
that a particular party will always remain in leadership while the other will
never administer its rule.
Remy Smith.Income Inequality and Its Effect on Political Inequality. 2015.
Print. Most of the candidates in the United States seek assistance from
different consultants and the campaign management to raise some amount of money
that facilitate their attacks and convince potential voters (Remy, 43). The article mentioned that income
distribution plays a significant role in the creation of equal political
opportunities for different candidates. Therefore, some of the candidates may
be unable to meet the fundamental requirements of acquiring a particular seat
in the government. Adequate income
distribution enables the citizens to understand the need for participating in
various activities accomplished by the government and offer support to the
different candidates. It increases the
willingness and the ability of the citizens to take part in the campaigns and
the voting process.
