-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Voters punish politicians more for infidelity if their spouse leaves them
URL: https://www.psypost.org/voters-punish-politicians-more-for-infidelity-if-their-spouse-leaves-them/
When a political candidate is caught in an infidelity scandal, voters judge the politician more harshly if their spouse decides to leave the marriage. A recent experiment also revealed that voters tend to punish politicians from their own political party more severely than those across the aisle. These results were published in the *Journal of Political Marketing*.
Political spouses frequently act as character witnesses for candidates, projecting an image of stability and family values to the public. When a scandal breaks, the spouse is often thrust into the spotlight. Their reaction can serve as a guide for how voters should interpret the controversy. In American politics, examples range from Hillary Clinton’s public defense of Bill Clinton in the 1990s to Melania Trump’s continued presence following allegations against Donald Trump.
The theoretical expectations surrounding spousal responses are split. On one hand, a supportive spouse might signal to the public that the marriage can survive, softening the blow of the scandal. This aligns with traditional gender expectations, sometimes termed benevolent sexism, where women are rewarded by society for remaining loyal in prescribed roles. On the other hand, if a spouse leaves, it could validate the public’s worst suspicions about the candidate’s character.
Political party values also complicate these expectations. Democratic candidates often emphasize social justice and gender equality, meaning an affair could be viewed as a hypocritical violation of those ideals. Republican candidates frequently campaign on traditional family values and moral behavior. An infidelity scandal could similarly damage a conservative politician’s credibility by contradicting their stated platform.
Jason Gainous, a mass communication researcher at the University of Sharjah, led a team of political scientists to examine these dynamics. They wanted to understand whether a wife’s decision to stay with or leave an unfaithful politician changes how voters evaluate him. The research team also sought to determine how a voter’s own political party affiliation influences their judgment of the candidate’s actions.
To test these reactions, the researchers designed an online survey experiment involving adult participants. They included quality control measures to ensure participants were paying attention, discarding automated bot responses and those who completed the survey too quickly or too slowly. This left a final sample of 1,401 individuals who were guided through a three-stage process simulating the unfolding of a political scandal.
First, each person read a fictional biography of a male candidate. The biographies detailed the candidate’s age, education, military service, and political experience. The profiles were identical, except half the participants were told the candidate was a Democrat, and the other half were told he was a Republican.
After reading the biography, participants rated their support for the candidate. They answered questions about how likely they were to vote for him, share his information on social media, donate to his campaign, attend a fundraiser, and trust him. These responses were combined into a general index of candidate support.
In the second stage, participants read a mock news article revealing that the candidate had engaged in an affair with a legislative assistant. The article noted that the politician initially lied to his constituents before admitting to the relationship and expressing regret. After reading this update, the participants evaluated the candidate again. As expected, support for the candidate dropped across the board after the scandal was revealed.
The final stage introduced the key experimental variable. Participants read a second news story detailing the spouse’s reaction to the affair. Half of the group read that the spouse decided to stay in the marriage and support the candidate. The other half read that the spouse chose to separate from the politician. Following this final update, participants rated the candidate a third time using the same set of questions.
The researchers tracked the shifts in support across these three stages to measure how much participants penalized the candidate. The data revealed that voters punished the candidate more severely when his wife chose to leave him. While a supportive spouse did not completely erase the reputational damage of the affair, a separating spouse amplified the negative evaluations. The wife’s departure appeared to confirm the severity of the candidate’s moral failing in the eyes of the voters.
The researchers also measured participants’ adherence to traditional gender roles to see if these beliefs influenced their reactions. Participants who held stronger traditional or sexist views regarding gender were harsher on the candidate in reaction to the spouse’s decision. However, when looking at the overall shift from the initial biography to the final spousal decision, these same individuals were slightly less likely to penalize the candidate overall compared to other voters.
The research team uncovered unexpected patterns regarding political party affiliation. They initially hypothesized that voters would be protective of candidates from their own party and harsher on opponents. Past research often suggests that voters will rationalize the bad behavior of a politician who shares their ideology to protect their party’s electoral success. The results of this experiment showed the exact opposite.
Participants were actually more likely to penalize a candidate who shared their own political affiliation. This penalty was especially pronounced when the spouse left the candidate. Strong Democrats were highly critical of the Democratic candidate in this scenario. Strong Republicans displayed a similar, though slightly less extreme, willingness to punish the Republican candidate when the marriage ended.
Overall, voters were slightly more likely to penalize the Democratic candidate than the Republican candidate for the affair. The researchers accounted for variables like respondent age, education, and income, ensuring that the effects they observed were primarily driven by the experimental changes and political affiliations.
The experiment provides a controlled look at voter behavior, but real-world political landscapes involve additional variables. The study focused exclusively on a heterosexual male politician, which reflects the most common demographic involved in historical political sex scandals. Public reactions might differ if the unfaithful politician were female or if the scandal involved a same-sex relationship.
The specific nature of the affair and the candidate’s apology could also alter public perception in real-world scenarios. The mock scenario combined infidelity with workplace power dynamics and public deception. Future research could isolate these elements to see how different forms of misconduct influence voter forgiveness. Evolving cultural norms around gender and marriage will likely continue to shift how the public interprets these personal controversies.
The study, “Political Evaluations and Spousal Responses to Candidate Infidelity: Should I Stay or Should I Go?,” was authored by Jason Gainous, Alyson Hendricks-Benton, Lauren Reuss, Taylor Sowders, Forest Clevenger, Samuel Stottman, Julia Mattingly, and Bella Beilman.

CW: nzpol poverty etc
'Simon Bridges wrote an op-ed for the #NZ Herald on 31 July 2026. It ran 1,200 words. It contained zero verifiable numbers, zero #economic #data, and zero engagement with the actual mechanism producing NZ's cost-of-living #crisis. What it contained was something far more revealing: a perfect specimen of the Muppets Show that has displaced #political accountability ...
'That family in South Auckland — the one Bridges pretends to speak for — that has been paying more for everything since 2021 while their #wages have fallen in real terms.
'.....
'Bridges' op-ed, published under the headline "Our political aspirants need to cut out the silly business, it's serious economic times," opens with a Kabuki theatre of gravitas and closes with the same. Between those two pillars of self-congratulation, he advances a single argument: politicians should focus on "growing the metaphorical cake" rather than "redistributing our collective #earnings."
'This is the household metaphor in political dress. It is the same lunacy that tells #voters #government spending is a zero-sum transfer, that "#growth" is a force of #Nature rather than a #policy decision outcome...
'...When #capital keeps grabbing a larger share of output and #labour is left to takes less, #consumer spending contracts. Firms cannot sell #goods if workers lack the purchasing power to buy them...
'The real test of seriousness is ...: can you name the mechanism producing the outcome you claim to care about? Can you explain why NZ household #debt reached the unbearable 167% of disposable #income? Can you account for why real wages have fallen for five consecutive years? If you cannot, you are not being serious about the economy. You are performing a theatrical piece on seriousness that purposely fogs real reasons that produced the crisis.'https://keenlens.substack.com/p/grow-the-cake-is-not-the-story-bleeding -

CNN – What Matters – November 10, 2025
Editor’s Note: Below is a re-formatted post from a CNN Newsletter. It will appear online soon. The newsletter is sent first, then it is published online in a later cycle. I’ve posted it here, because of my comments. This 8-member “deal” on the side is a huge mistake. Read more below. –DrWeb

CNN What Matters
by Zachary B. Wolf: Democrats seethe over shutdown deal.
They might be celebrating in a yearThe likely end to the longest-ever government shutdown has Democrats turning on each other in searing anger.
The prevailing opinion appears to be frustration that eight senators freelanced a deal with Republicans.
While it does not guarantee the extension of expiring enhanced subsidies for Obamacare health insurance plans, it does guarantee there will be a Senate vote on that subject.
Sen. Tim Kaine, who helped finalize the deal, defended it on CNN Monday. Kaine noted that the White House had pledged to rehire federal workers fired during the lapse in government funding and to bar further reductions in force at least until January 30.
That’s not good enough for many Democrats who were feeling powerful after victories in mostly blue-state elections last week. They wanted to hold out for more guarantees from the White House, even as the nation’s air travel system started to buckle under the strain of air traffic controllers not being paid and people who rely on the government for assistance buying food went without.
There’s no guarantee that House Speaker Mike Johnson will allow a House vote on extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, but Kaine argued that if senators pass it with bipartisan support and Johnson ignores it, the GOP will pay a political price.
“Their midterm election next year would look a lot worse even than the shellacking they got last week in Virginia and elsewhere,” Kaine said.
The expiring enhanced subsidies, according to analysis by KFF, will be felt more in states that voted for Trump in 2024, and could result in millions of people opting not to have health insurance at all.
This shutdown, assuming it ends and is not repeated in January, won’t be top of mind for voters in midterm elections next year, but it’s still worth taking a look at what happens at the ballot box after a shutdown.DrWeb’s Comment…
“While it does not guarantee the extension of expiring enhanced subsidies for Obamacare health insurance plans, it does guarantee there will be a Senate vote on that subject.” –article quote
I have highlighted in bold a quote from the article. It is embarassing to post the truth for these eight renegades. They got scammed, including Catherine Cortez Masto, one of my Senators I used to support in Nevada.
To believe that quote, is to believe or trust Trump. I don’t.
These 8 should have known better. I don’t believe or trust the Trump Senate. I don’t.
It won’t vote on the subject, or the votes will vote to remove Obamacare and/or the subsidies, surprise surprise.
All the damn signs point to Trump erasing Obamacare (ego thing to do), and replacing it –after many years of asking GOP for any national health plan, they will dump something out and call it National Health Care by Trump.
Watch, wait, Trust me. They are screwed, these 8, we are screwed by the failure to support the Democratic Party (outliers not welcomed). All those closed days –accomplished NOTHING. Because of these 8 fools. –DrWeb

The Morning: Democrats’ big night – The New York Times
By Sam SiftonGood morning. Last night was a big one for Democrats.
From left, Mikie Sherrill, Zohran Mamdani and Abigail Spanberger.A rebuke
Zohran Mamdani, 34, will be the next mayor of New York City, the youngest in more than a century. The democratic socialist will also be the city’s first Muslim mayor. Abigail Spanberger will be Virginia’s first female governor. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill cruised to victory in a governor’s race that polls had projected would be neck and neck.
And in California, voters passed a ballot measure to redraw the state’s maps in Democrats’ favor, which is likely to yield as many as five House seats for the party next year.
Turnout was extraordinary: The New York mayor’s race drew more than two million voters, almost double the 1.1 million people who voted for mayor four years ago. The New Jersey governor’s race topped three million votes for the first time.
As my colleague Lisa Lerer wrote, the results showed that Democrats — beaten soundly in all seven presidential battleground states just a year ago, losing control of the Senate and failing to win the House — can still accomplish the most important goal in politics: “They can win. And win big.”
The results amounted to a loud rebuke of President Trump’s first year back in office. A year ago, he won the White House on promises to fix the economy. Yesterday, his party’s losses showed the high political price that a party in power can pay when voters are still feeling squeezed.
