🚨New publication in @poqjournal.bsky.social 📈 Americans see the Democrats as increasingly "liberal" and Republicans as "conservative." Why? Turns out, it's not so much a response to actual policymaking as it is to how regular voters use these labels. academic.oup.com/poq/advance-...

Was grateful to work with @us.theconversation.com to share my Social Forces piece with a broader audience. Some, fairly large part of protest today seems driven by partisan animosity, even on protest issues that are not explicitly partisan.

🚨 New working paper! 🚨 After the 2024 election, it seemed like Republicans' views of the economy improved more than Dems' dropped. I began to wonder... as an extension of issue ownership, do voters see Republican-led economies as better? osf.io/preprints/os...

Sharing my new, sadly timely WP with @polpsychjoe.bsky.social: Do election outcomes impact affective polarization? An RDD using close House, Senate, and state-level prez results from 1996-2020 says yes. Losers depolarize by losing faith in their own side. 😥 Read here: osf.io/preprints/os...

Greetings Polisky, excited to share my new piece at Political Behavior. Key takeaway: we are just some bridge data away from having campaign finance ideology scores (CFscores) for *everyone* State politics nerd takeaway: Do voters use ideology more in gubernatorial elections? Maybe not!

As promised, I'm a lover of cool research design. 😍 This one leaves repeated falsehoods by a prominent politician to view how opinion shifts with it over time. ✌️

Importing from the other site, but it applies here as well. As soon as I started following these rules, sometime before I articulated them in late ‘21, my experience online improved immensely.
