| | Political science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the United States, political scientists known as "Americanists" look at a variety of data including elections, public opinion and public policy such as Social Security reform, foreign policy, U.S. congressional power, and the Supreme Court to name only a few issues. | | | Political scientists may serve as advisors to specific politicians, or even run for office as politicians themselves. | | | American politics in the United States (and related fields in other countries) study domestic political institutions, elections, voting and public opinion. |
