🔔🔔 Russian polls have shown ~75% support for the war in Ukraine since February 2022, essentially flat. New working paper with Kirill Chmel and @nikitasavin.bsky.social shows that number is stable partly because it stopped measuring what people actually think. 🧵 ssrn.com/abstract=711...

New publication out in @epsrjournal.bsky.social! We know young voters vote for different parties and hold different attitudes than older citizens. What we know less about: whether they also care differently about political issues. Using novel experimental survey data, I show: they do! 👇

Why do parties with pro-immigration policies often fail to attract the support of immigrant voters? ✍ @korinlind.bsky.social @mzesunimannheim.bsky.social @antvalentim.bsky.social @lse-ei.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Why don’t all immigrants support progressive parties?

New research shows political socialisation can help explain why not all immigrants vote for progressive parties with pro-immigration policies.
