1/ Will disputes over Nov 3rd divide America further?

A short thread summarizing what we know from research about risks of contentious elections, drawn from our 2015 Routledge book:
2/ 'Contentious elections’ are defined as contests involving major challenges, with different degrees of severity, to the legitimacy of electoral actors, procedures, or outcomes.

1/ Is there a cancel culture in political science? A short thread summarizing key results from a new research paper...More at dropbox.com/s/y5a0bwu82to2… Image

1/ Who's switched in the US electorate since 2016? Short thread.

Here's the change in @YouGov polls.

Biggest social group shifts? Hispanics fall (-8).

Trump consolidates GOP base (84>91%).

Good news for Trump?

But Trump's support among Independents falls 4%...
2/ And compared with 2016, Biden broadens the Dem coalition by picking up Independents (+8) and Moderates (+6)...
3/ Compositional effects are critical (based on actual vote in 2016 and registered voters July 2020).

% of GOP in electorate shrinks (-6%)

And % of Conservatives also falls (-6%), as more Americans see themselves as liberal (+7).

(COVID-19 effect or Trump effects or both?)

A new research paper on European values with some more background on the Hungarian developments in comparative perspective:

1. The tipping point in Hungary has been reached after a long slide.
2. But it would be misleading to read Hungarian public opinion directly from the actions of the Orban regime.
3. Long-term trends in Hungarian public support for democratic values does not fall.

The Brexit perfect storm or the triple crisis facing the UK.
The first is a cultural crisis symbolized over Brexit. This is not just a deep policy divide, evident for decades, but a fundamental choice about British identity. People are being towards Europe or America, with longstanding bonds to both.
The second is a constitutional crisis: the unwritten norms about the primacy of parliament are being torn up, even if legal nicities are observed. The weaknesses of our unwritten conventions are revealed under pressure.
