Are Democrats more tolerant of Republicans than vice versa? Are you more politically tolerant than average? We surveyed people to find out. Here are our results. 🧵
How irritated would you be if a member of your least favorite political party was dating a member of your family? was your neighbor? co-worker? local elected official?
We averaged answers to ^these q's to measure political tolerance.
+2 = max tolerance.
-2 = max intolerance.
We found that D's and R's were tolerant of each other, on average. There was no statistically significant difference in tolerance between D's and R's in either 2019 or 2020.
We found that, on average, tolerance from both parties was lower for #Trump followers than #Biden followers.
Are these results surprising? How different might things be if we surveyed people today?
We are an #antipartisan research team. Please support our work by sharing our findings! You can view the full PDF 'Intolerance Is Lower Than You Might Think' research report here: buff.ly/3GdaDdL
