as correct as michael is here this is the inverse of how it works in the world of elite commentary, where a willingness to entertain race science somehow makes you more credible for your "heterodoxy" (see: charles murray)

As Dems reelect a spritely 74-year-old Chuck Schumer as Senate Leader, this is a reminder that U.S. politicians are the oldest of any democracy, despite the U.S. having one of the youngest populations.

polls missed big in 2016, but pollsters spent the past 8 years adapting to those misses and these adjustments worked pretty well in 2024. my new @goodauth.bsky.social piece with Caroline Soler goodauthority.org/news/pollste...

ICYMI, I talked about @cwolbrecht.bsky.social and David Campbell's forthcoming book, See Jane Run, which they wrote about in @goodauth.bsky.social a few months ago. I noticed their book now has a cover and can be preordered. Here's a link: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

I haven't come across one yet, so I ended up creating a political behavior starter pack. Let me know if you want to be added go.bsky.app/MUYzY5P

The share of Republicans who say that they’re worse off financially than they were a year ago is already down 15-points since the election.

(The one addendum I'd put on this is that the degree to which framing matters varies considerably by issue, and the mere presence of that volatility -- and how it manifests -- can itself say a lot about strength of opinion and how people are approaching the issue.)

Vincent Hutchings offered perspective on race & voting in today's @umisrcps.bsky.social post-election analysis. W/ 85% supporting Harris, the story of Black voters shifting toward Trump has been exaggerated. In fact, a key takeaway is how little the Black/White voter gap has changed since 1968.

Agreed, morning vibes. 💤

The starter pack I was searching for but couldn't find. Great for scholars, journalists, and anyone looking for research-based takes on current events. Please reply to this message or DM if you want me to add you, or anyone else, to the list 😊 go.bsky.app/315MyLR
