Resumen de La politique des deux axes: Variables sociologiques, valeurs et votes en France (1988-2007)
The social logics of voting are said on the decline.
But their decay is not general. Some remain and others such as birth cohort or education emerge particularly in the 2007 vote. This article tries to explain simultaneously the evolutions and the enduring social logics of voting during the last four presidential elections in France. By discussing and prolonging the old/new politics theory, this work shows that evolutions are not due to a change in values system, but to the politization of cultural values by the mainstream French parties. This “ two axis politics ” have major consequences. New social logics of voting establish themselves. Some social groups such as the workers or the profes- sionals are affected whereas others like atheists or independents are not.
