1.

Explanation / Answer

3. "Since the beginning, presidential campaigning has offered us a lot of grand promises. In truth, all presidents, once elected, are severely inhibited in fulfilling them (Congress, courts, media, popular opinion, etc.) And yet we, the American voting public still focus intensely on those promises."

Number 3 is most relevent in this case as in every campaign the things which are offered are not always fulfilled during the campaign. People vote those who give them hope of changing certain things which society lacks. Even political parties study those things from which they understand that people will get attracted towards them resulting in votes.
