Reducing Item Nonresponse to Vote-Choice Questions: Evidence from a Survey Experiment in Mexico
Retrospective vote choice is a critical question asked in political science surveys. Yet, this question suffers from persistently high item nonresponse rates, which can bias estimates and limit scholars’ ability to make sound inferences. In this paper, we develop a sensitive survey technique to decrease nonresponse to the vote-choice question in a representative, face-to-face survey in Mexico City and Mexico State in 2018–2019. Respondents receiv…
The Populist Communication Strategy in Comparative Perspective
Populism has captured the world's attention, especially during election campaigns where the starkness of populist messages comes into sharper focus. While most research focuses either on the content that actors communicate or their delivery of that content, I situate my research among the few studies that do both. I refer to this combination as a communication strategy. I evaluate two research questions: how is the populist communication strategy…
When “Following” the Leader Inspires Action: Individuals’ Receptivity to Discursive Frame Elements on Social Media
How political actors convey information–that is, the discursive frames they use–can alter individuals' attitudes, preferences, and behaviors, especially during campaigns. Although scholars have shown that discursive frames using populist rhetoric evoke particularly strong reactions, we do not yet know how the individual elements that make up the populist frame, like anti-elitism or pro-people, fare relative to other ways of seeing the political w…

Support for Coups in the Americas: Mass Norms and Democratization
Coups d'état, once a common end for democracies in the Americas, have declined sharply in recent years. This article investigates whether overall public support for coups is also in decline. Examining 21 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2004 to 2014 helps to evaluate two alternative theses on democratization: Mainwaring and Pérez-Liñán's 2013 normative regime preferences theory, which inquires (but does not test) whether public o…
