YouGov: “We find that the tendency to misestimate the size of demographic groups is actually one instance of a broader tendency to overestimate small proportions and underestimate large ones, regardless of the topic.” today.yougov.com/politics/art... HT @andrewkerr9000.bsky.social

Misperceptions of the size of minority groups have been identified in prior surveys, which observers have often attributed to social causes: fear of out-groups, lack of personal exposure, or portrayals in the media. Yet consistent with prior research, we find that the tendency to misestimate the size of demographic groups is actually one instance of a broader tendency to overestimate small proportions and underestimate large ones, regardless of the topic.

“Faulty estimates result from a combination of innumeracy, as well as our brain’s tendency to remember what and whom we consider novel. For transgender people, that makes for a ‘perfect storm. It's a really tiny proportion of the population, and it's in the news.’“ www.politifact.com/article/2023...

Why do we overestimate the number of trans people in the US?

State legislators introduced hundreds of 2023 bills targeting transgender Americans and affecting access to health care,

This from Murphy is so infuriating. If the lesson you take from the child tax credit (which cut child poverty by 40%+ but was then taken away from people because Joe Manchin thought kids were going to use it for drugs) was that it somehow rigged the system … brother, you have lost the plot.

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people. It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1886...

Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.
