After entering the 1990s, America’s political state of affairs had experienced major changes; among all, the most important and influential one was the comeback of the ideological trend of conservatism. Within this period, America has hosted three national wide elections-two federal elections and one mid-term election. These three elections had reflected the frustration and rise back in power of conservatism. Conservativism’s ascend in power came ferociously, and it had produced remarkable influence to the government’s economic and social policies, accelerating and deepening the shifting direction from liberalism to conservatism; moreover, it had brought significant impact to America’s political life. This article combines the three elections to discuss conservatism’s come to power, the reason behind it, and its influence on the federal government’s policies, party government, race relations, and etc. in order to understand the American political situation’s transformation in recent years and its recent trend.

In the late 1950s, the New Right rose and developed in the Republican Party, and they was the extreme right party among the Republicans.
