🚨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-...

My new paper with the exquisite @polpsychjoe.bsky.social

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...

🚨 New research alert! 🚨 Excited to share the first paper from my dissertation, now online at Social Forces. Headline: when looking at who protests, partisan animosity explains almost as much variation as *concern about the issues being protested.* 1/ academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

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...

❗New data alert polisky❗ Daily time series of affective polarization in the US, between 2019 to 2023, drawn from responses to the Nationscape and America's Political Pulse studies. T ~ 1,000 github.com/sbwarner/ts_...

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!

Having a dandy time teaching my research stats students about univariate regression. Polisky

Took a littttttle while, but my fellow Nutmegger came around.

Does polisky have any favorite videos on the Constitution, Bill of Rights, civil rights, etc. to share with my intro class?

Guilty as charged

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.
