Abstract

Cet article vise à déterminer une répartition, le long d’un axe politique, des candidats à l’élection présidentielle de 2012 qui soit fondée sur les opinions exprimées par les électeurs à travers une expérimentation de vote par approbation, plutôt que sur un positionnement a priori. L’axe endogène représentatif du paysage politique obtenu s’avère correspondre à un axe gauche-droite classique. Cependant, des analyses plus précises du comportement des électeurs remettent en cause l’hypothèse d’unimodalité des préférences politiques qui est généralement associée à cette structure. En particulier, l’attitude qui consiste à approuver simultanément des candidats situés des deux côtés de l’échiquier politique mais sans soutenir les candidats intermédiaires sur l’axe est largement répandue, et nettement plus fréquente chez les hommes que chez les femmes.
