Answer:

The correct answer is pocketbook.

Explanation:

Pocketbook voting occurs when a person makes a voting decision based solely on her individual situation. The voter values her own economic circumstances rather than the national state of affairs.

In contrast, retrospective and prospective voting are related to the candidate's past actions or promises in the future, whereas straight ticket has to do with voting for every candidate of a single party.
