Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can start looking for information

words or phrases

that (may have) started or at least become more popular during elections,

particularly U. S.



I don't know about sources, but one expression comes to mind right away:

"born again," which had been around in various church circles for a long

time previous, became popularized during Jimmy Carter's first run at the

presidency and then took on secularized uses as well as it was made to

apply to non-Christian, non-relgious fields of human ambition and

experience.
