Conservative politics is more strongly associated with skepticism about science than is conservative religion - and both restrain enthusiasm more than they encourage negativity
Research on Americans’ attitudes toward science shows that both theologically conservative religious views and political conservatism are associated with negative views of science and scientists. In their efforts to understand the relationship between conservatism and science attitudes, however, authors have often prioritized one type of conservatism—either religious or political—rather than exploring the unique role of each. This paper examines …
Changes in Americans’ Racial Attitudes Have Increased Support for Welfare
Objective This article documents changes in Americans’ attitudes toward redistributive policy since 2012 and explores the extent to which we can rightfully credit the increases in support for government aid to shifts in racial attitudes as opposed to other concurrent forces. Methods Using the 2016–2020 GSS panel, I employ fixed‐effects models to quantify how within‐person changes in racial attitudes are related to support for redistributive polic…
Why Do High-Income Democrats Support Redistribution? The Roles of Partisanship, Racial Attitudes and Fiscal Populism
Since the 1990s, high-income individuals have increasingly sorted into the Democratic Party as a result of their socially liberal views. There is evidence that over time high-income Democrats have also liberalized in their economic attitudes, but the motivations behind this purported support remain unclear. This study uses a forced-choice conjoint experiment with an oversample of high-income respondents and takes the novel approach of pairing the…

We also explore why the marital gap has grown over the past 40 years.BackgroundResearch in the 1980s discovered that unmarried Americans are more likely to choose Democratic presidential candidates. We show that these…
