Are Democrats more tolerant of Republicans than Republicans are of Democrats?

We surveyed ~500 people to investigate.

Here's what we found.

#diversity #politics #tolerance Image
Oppositional Political Group

"Which political group do you think is most different/opposed to your own political views?"

We limited the sample to Republicans and Democrats who selected either the Republican or Democratic parties (N=474).
Political Intolerance

We asked people how irritated they'd be if a member of the political party they most opposed was dating a member of their family, their neighbor, co-worker, or local elected official.

We then averaged their answers to get an overall tolerance score.
Political Affiliation and Intolerance (Pt. 1)

On average, Democrats and Republicans reported tolerant attitudes towards members of their most opposed party, regardless of which party that was. Image
Political Affiliation and Intolerance (Pt. 2)

Most Ds and Rs "slightly disagreed" that they'd be irritated if a member of their opposed party was dating a member of their family, their neighbor, co-worker, or local elected official.

Tolerance was the norm for both groups. Image

What impacts a political party's level of infighting? We asked Democrats and Republicans how they felt about the parties in 2019 and 2020. How did the events of those years impact party unity? Here's what we found. 🧵 #politics Image
We asked two samples, one in Fall 2019 and another in Fall 2020, which political group held views most opposed to their own. In our '19 survey, we found that Dems were almost as opposed to their OWN party as they were to the Rep party (top right). Image
~55% of Reps in '19 agreed the Dem Party held the most opposed views. That decreased to ~41% in '20. Which events do you think drove these changes? A lot happened between Fall 2019 and Fall 2020. Image
