New @NiskanenCenter #ScienceOfPolitics podcast/transcript with @j_kalla & @cantstopkevin

Voters still change their partisan vote choice in response to information & do take signals of candidate quality

niskanencenter.org/when-informati…
@NiskanenCenter @j_kalla @cantstopkevin Testing 100s of messages on 1000s of voters in the 2020 presidential election, voters can be persuaded, especially with specific information about Biden:

Even Republicans change their vote choice, suggesting that campaign information can shift votes:
@NiskanenCenter @j_kalla @cantstopkevin & more high quality candidates, like those endorsed by newspapers, are still winning at high rates & getting more votes; it's just been obscured by mostly uncompetitive elections:

Racial Protest, Violence, & Backlash

New #ScienceOfPolitics podcast/transcript with @owasow & Elizabeth Coggins:
niskanencenter.org/racial-protest…

60s protests & riots affected media coverage & election results & racialized the meaning of liberalism, with effects that still linger today

Liberalism became associated with racial protest & riots in the late 60s, both in media coverage & in public sentiment. Liberal policy views returned, but symbolic liberalism did not:

I also interviewed @TashaPhilpot about her great book, “Conservative But Not Republican” about Black conservatism for the #ScienceOfPolitics podcast this week:

Both books show our theories of polarization are mostly about Whites

.@eitanhersh and @RachelBitecofer agree: If Bloomberg actually wanted to make a difference, he’d drop out of the race and maybe take some important lessons to heart next time he tried running for office.

Here's @eitanhersh's analysis of what Bloomberg needs too understand before he even thinks about running again. #Bloomberg #SuperTuesday #supertuesday2020 #Primary2020 niskanencenter.org/what-rich-cent…

THREAD: The rise of political tribalism might be overstated, according to political scientist @MattGrossmann. niskanencenter.org/blog/political…
Since the 2016 election, there HAS been a real rise in negative partisanship...and party bias may even have economic consequences. BUT there are a few caveats: soundcloud.com/user-735940457…
1.When answering questions about opposing parties, citizens tend to think more about political leaders than their fellow citizens. And many citizens dislike BOTH parties’ leaders.
