Understanding the primary motivation of the voter is necessary to classify the behavior under a specific voting model.
2
Evaluate the models of voting behavior to find the one that matches a decision based on future expectations.
Prospective voting is defined as voting based on predictions of how a party or candidate will perform in the future, which matches the voter's focus on future economic impact.
Matching the voter's behavior to the correct political science model resolves the question.
