The Missouri bellwether was a political phenomenon that noted that the state of Missouri voted for the winner in all but one U.S. presidential election from 1904 to 2004 (the exception being 1956). While states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, Florida and Wisconsin have been arguably stronger indicators of political trends in recent years, Missouri was a consistent swing state throughout the 20th century. Prior to the 2008 elections, Lincoln County, Missouri was said to be the only bellwether county in a bellwether state. Missouri was also considered a bellwether of U.S. views on hot-button social issues such as stem cell research and school vouchers. Some economists also considered the state a bellwether for economic trends such as consumer confidence and unemployment.

dbo:abstract
  • Als Missouri Bellwether wird vor allem im englischsprachigen Raum das Phänomen bezeichnet, dass der US-Bundesstaat Missouri sowohl in soziokultureller und demographischer als auch politischer Hinsicht die Vereinigten Staaten im 20. Jahrhundert genau abbildete. So galt Missouri von Anfang des letzten Jahrhunderts an bis 2008 als umkämpfter Swing State bei Präsidentschaftswahlen und stimmte von 1904 an bis 2004 mit einer Ausnahme immer für den siegreichen Kandidaten bei der Wahl. Missouris Status als Bellwether (Leithammel) wird zunehmend in Frage gestellt. (de)
