Every campaign season, more trash talk and attack ads dominate the airwaves and more voters subsequently turn off to politics. Why do so many races degenerate into name-calling and negativism? What is the effect on our democracy - our ability to make the right political and policy choices? Poison Politics: Are Negative Campaigns Destroying Democracy? tackles these vital questions.
