Using pooled multilevel regression analyses of @electionstudies.bsky.social data 1988-2020, we find that rising inequality is associated with more negative views on #immigration, especially among those with a pessimistic financial outlook & that these views significantly predict Republican voting

Are Americans polarized in their attitudes toward higher education? 🤔 Using some @electionstudies.bsky.social data, the answer seems to be: Yes, but not dramatically so, and there's a tendency for more experience with higher ed. to be associated w/ more positive ratings. 👍

Across social media platforms, political posting is linked to affective polarization--extreme users post the most. As polarized partisans increasingly dominate the conversation, casual users disengage and the online public sphere grows smaller, sharper, and more extreme. arxiv.org/html/2510.25...
