Interesting use of my work in a new paper. Authors use well-established finding that ideology is weaker predictor of party id among Black Ams than among White Ams as benchmark for sample quality. Representative samples recover that pattern. Less rep. samples do not. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Training School provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen methodological skills and foster collaboration across the EUPopLink network.

Over two days, participants engaged in a dynamic programme combining theoretical discussions on populism and Euroscepticism with hands-on sessions on survey design, data harmonization, and multilingual research tools.

The 1st EUPopLink Training School took place in Lisbon at ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa. #COSTactions #ScienceWithoutBorders #EUPopLink #TrainingSchool #PoliticalScience #SurveyResearch #ResearchCommunity

We are pleased to share that the first EUPopLink article has now been published on Open Research Europe: “The populism–euroscepticism nexus in a contested Europe: The EUPopLink COST Action.” open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/6-27

New paper with @hjghassell.bsky.social and @michaelheseltine.bsky.social out in @bjpols.bsky.social. We develop measures of voter perceptions of candidate ideology and candidate messaging ideology and find that perception's are related to what candidates say www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

🤔 Do surveys exaggerate democratic support due to social desirability bias (SDB)? ➡️ Using survey-mode variation & list experiments in 24 countries, @pcmagalhaes.bsky.social & @aarslew.bsky.social find no evidence that SDB inflates democratic attitudes www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

The weird and wonderful history of British voter segmentations: the names, the ideas, the myths! From how "the man on the Clapham omnibus" changed English common law to how "Gail's Voter" helped the Lib Dems gain 64 seats in 2024 to what works well when doing segmentation (and what doesn't)

Remember, if you encounter what seems like an implausible survey finding, ask: 1. Were survey respondents selected randomly or was this an opt-in poll? 2. Could the results, especially for young adults, be driven by bogus respondents? Keep this post in mind: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/... 🧪

Large partisan differences on the effect of tariffs on the economy, though relatively little change over time. >50% of Reps say tariffs help. Those saying hurt the economy up slightly across partisanship; help economy down a bit with independents. @MULawPoll national surveys.

Trump's city-crime narrative leans on encoded stereotypes of largely Black cities. OUT TODAY @polbehavior.bsky.social, @kevintmorris.bsky.social and I show Black cities were also the epicenter of the 2020 election fraud narrative. Republicans and Racially resentful Whites were most susceptible.

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life? Very excited to share this gentle introduction to another way of making sense of statistical models (w @vincentab.bsky.social) Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

🇬🇷 @gotinakos.bsky.social presented Greece’s Country Report on Populism and Euroscepticism. Focus on party strategies, public attitudes, and the Greek case in comparative perspective.

The problem with 'average over different coding or modelling decisions' is often we will find that different decisions aren't even targeting the same estimand, in ways that may not be clear from the outset
