Question

What will be the explanatory and response variable for this article?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanatory is the independent variable, or the variable that goes on the x-axis of a graph.  Here, that could be time or political affiliation.

The response variable is the dependent variable, or the variable that goes on the y-axis of a graph.  Here, that would be percent that have a positive view of capitalism/socialism.
