Some studies in economics and political science argues that preferences for redistribution are able to explain different redistributive efforts around the world. It is natural to think that the voting decision is the most direct channel to validate this argument. This work provided empirical evidence that there is a correlation between preferences for redistribution and individual voting decision in the United States. First, I present a theoretical model that links party identification with individual self-interest. Based in this model, I use General Social Survey data to assess such relation. The results show that preferences for redistribution are related to party identification and, consequently, related to individual voting decision for redistributive policies. There is also some evidences that this influence is growing in the last decades.
