Three surprising results on support for democratic norm violations from our lab (w/ @ylelkes)
Democrats support anti-democratic behavior at levels that are similar to (or exceed) Republicans. Surprisingly, about 8% of Democrats want to reducing voting options for Republicans.

More data from our (me, @ylelkes and shanto iyengar) lab: Both parties reject political violence.
9,000 interviews over five weeks show that support for political violence is consistently less than the margin of error.
Thanks to @MattGrossmann for having me on to talk about a bunch of my research and research by some of the people I love to read, e.g. @_amengel. It was a lot of fun!
When partisanship forms our identity

Roe predated IVF, so the truth is we don’t know what will happen. And if you have frozen embryos, you should be watching closely. But we also need your voice. We need you to share. We need you to vote.

Conditional on quality and other observables, men are tenured similarly regardless of whether they coauthor or solo author. Women, however, are less likely to receive tenure the more they coauthor journals.uchicago.edu/doi/ab…

It looks like Biden will trade Ohio & Florida for Arizona & Georgia compared to 2012. That shows a lot of stability, despite the firsts. The trade may not work for Democrats over the long-term, however, as the tipping point state has moved further to the right of the popular vote

One positive trend from the results is racial depolarization. A country where one party becomes increasingly diverse while white voters move toward the other party is not a good recipe for democracy. It is good that the Republican electorate is becoming more diverse.

I still can’t get over how bad the climate change section of the debate was last night.
This is the consequence of no climate questions in debates for years.
The questions were childish, no follow-up questions for basic information, & there was almost no talk of solutions.
