Why do green parties struggle electorally despite widespread support for climate action? My new (first 😱) paper explores why green parties remain uniquely challenged in economic crisis & that the mechanism is not only about sociotropic concerns, but also voters’ pocketbooks 🧵 doi.org/10.1017/S147...

“News accuracy is important. Without it, we may misperceive the world.” Across 20 years of US TV news, Soroka & Wlezien find that all six networks showed negativity bias – but not equally. Stronger negativity bias was linked to less accurate unemployment coverage. 🆕 ➡️ doi.org/10.1080/1058...
Scatterplot of six US TV networks. Accuracy (R²) runs from 0 to 0.5 on the horizontal axis; negativity bias runs from 0.2 to 1.0 vertically. MSNBC has the lowest accuracy and highest negativity bias, followed by Fox and CNN. NBC, CBS, and ABC are more accurate, with ABC showing the lowest negativity bias. Overall, higher accuracy is associated with lower negativity bias (r=–0.81).

Is the ‘directional’ measure of negative campaigning really unreliable? @alessandronai.bsky.social, @maierjuergen.bsky.social & Michaela Maier examine evidence from nine studies, arguing the measure is reliable & robust. Read OPEN ACCESS: buff.ly/19BZgGn @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social #polsky #polsci
Abstract
The ‘directional’ definition of negative campaigning (i.e. when candidates leverage critiques against their political opponents) has been criticized for lacking reliability and validity. Does this critical assessment resist scrutiny? We propose, via nine different original studies, a full-scale reassessment of this critical assessment. Building on novel evidence from sources as disparate as expert ratings of elections across the world, automated and manual coding of social media posts, candidate self-ratings, cross-sectional surveys, experimental evidence, and more, we provide a much less pessimistic outlook. The evidence discussed in the nine studies showcases high levels of (self-)observer agreement (i.e. different people evaluate the same phenomenon similarly), situational consistency (evaluations are stable across time and space), convergent validity (different independent measures of the same phenomenon are strongly correlated), construct validity (measures can be used to provide empirical support for theoretically cogent hypotheses), and discriminant validity (proximate phenomena are perceived differently). The directional measure of campaign negativity is not perfect, but it is very much alive and kicking. The data and materials for all nine studies are open for replication and re-analysis.

Two map graphs show the state of liberal democracy according to the V-Dem Liberal Democracy index for 2025 and 2024. The higher the score (or darker blue), the more democratic the country. Lower scores (or dark red) mean less democratic. While North and South America, Western Europe and Oceania are mostly in the blue, most parts of Asia and Africa are in the red in 2025. 
In comparison to the map for 2024, the map graph for 2025 shows democratic backsliding in some traditionally stable democracies in Western Europe and North America, in particular the USA, United Kingdom and Italy.
