Friday Night Politics
Objective To determine the effects of elite partisan cues on support or opposition to a hypothetical ban on tackle football for youth players. Methods Nationally representative survey experiment of 1800 American Adults, conducted by YouGov in 2019, utilizing four potential treatments: control, partisan Democratic cue, partisan Republican cue, and a bipartisan cue. Results Partisans respond to elite signaling about the issue. We find that Republic…
Partisans' evaluations of unconstitutional legislative activity
In this research note, we examine whether public evaluations of a policy depend on the constitutionality of the process by which that policy was passed. We observe whether people's views depend on accusations that a policy was passed in violation of a state constitution's single subject rule, and whether the effect of that accusation depends on the party making the accusation. Results from two survey experiments—one using a low salience issue and…
White Americans’ Evaluations of the Alt-Right
Citizens’ perceptions of the alt-right are not well explored in political science. We view the alt-right as a successor of the Tea Party movement. While the Tea Party described itself as organized around spending, the size of government, and the American Constitution, examinations of the movement found that the unifying concerns of people who identified with it or viewed it favorably were negative feelings about racial minorities and patriarchal …
Too Harsh for Me but Not for Thee? Threat Control, Personal Freedom, and Perception of Pandemic Policy
Policies implemented to control the COVID-19 (C19) pandemic have faced public resistance. We examined this issue via an experimental vignette study embedded in a May 2020 national (U.S.) survey conducted by YouGov. Specifically, we explore how the public perceived a local policymaker proposing a C19-related isolation policy, based on the policy’s invasiveness or its punitivity. We find that more intrusive and more punitive policies generally resu…
Focus on prevention
Research Summary : Using a national survey experiment, we examined Americans’ national and local‐level support for facilities that provide a safer space for individuals to consume illicit drugs under the supervision of medical professionals. We determined whether support levels differed based on (1) the label used to refer to such facilities (“safe injection facilities” vs. “overdose prevention sites”), (2) whether beneficial information is provi…
Grass-roots lobbying and the provision of information-processing resources in state legislatures
Citizens lobby state legislators about policy issues frequently. Political science research holds conflicting findings regarding the efficacy of grass-roots lobbying messages; some studies find that legislators ignore lobbying by constituents that they do not agree with (Butler et al., 2012), while others find that legislators act based on the cost constituents bear. In environments where the costs of contacting legislators are flattened (Cluveri…

How the Alt‐Right Label Informs Political Assessments
Objective To determine how the alt‐right label informs how voters assess individuals and political candidates. Methods We use a survey experiment with a hypothetical candidate. Along with a control, we vary the ideological label the hypothetical candidate uses, including conservative and alt‐right. Results The alt‐right label leads people to view candidates as holding more right‐leaning ideological and issue positions relative to no label and oft…
Deconstructing Popular Mythologies about Millennials and Party Identification
Americans born before 1980, called Millennials, are repeatedly treated as a singular voting bloc, but much like the Baby Boomers, have been socialized across a series of very different elections. We develop a theory of millennial political socialization that argues that older Millennials are more tied to the Democratic party and more liberal than their younger counterparts. We use the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study and an original …
How Trust Attitudes Promote Grassroots Lobbying in the American States
Objectives Despite declining trust in government institutions, political scientists have observed increasing political participation across activities, including grassroots lobbying. We argue that higher levels of trust in the state political system as a whole—diffuse political trust—and in state legislatures—specific political trust—should increase the likelihood that citizens contact their state legislators about policy matters because higher l…
Elite polarization, party extremity, and affective polarization
How the Flattened Costs of Grassroots Lobbying Affect Legislator Responsiveness
Leading theories of grassroots lobbying assert that legislators should respond positively to the volume of grassroots lobbying messages because volume indicates the salience of an issue among constituents. This notion rests on the idea that the costs of producing a large volume of grassroots lobbying signals the value of the information to legislators. Advances in technology and strategy, however, have flattened the costs associated with producin…
Temporal Change in the Density of State Interest Communities
Two very different kinds of models—cross-sectional models based on the logic of island biogeography and time series models of density dependence—are used to understand interest system density. While they share much in common, it is not at all clear how results derived from cross-sectional models are to be understood in terms of the temporal focus of the time series approach. Thus, the first purpose of this article is to more thoroughly think thro…
Explaining the Anomalous Growth of Public Sector Lobbying in the American States, 1997–2007
We examine an anomaly—the rapid increase over the past decade in the number of local public sector organizations lobbying their state governments. After documenting this increase in public sector lobbying from 1997 to 2007, we discuss why this pattern is so theoretically anomalous and then develop several explanations that might account for this puzzle. These candidate explanations—representing attention to both the supply of and demand for lobby…
