just posted on the Tufts University Public Opinion Lab blog: an exploration into the relationship between ideology and mental health. conservatives report better mental health than liberals, but we dig in a bit deeper using the 2022 CES data tufts-pol.medium.com/is-there-a-men…

we show that conservatives rate their mental health about 12 points better than liberals, though this shrinks to about an 8 point difference after accounting for a variety of other life situations and events.

Rolling back the years! Former #1 Caroline Wozniacki wins 10 of the last 11 games and beats Jennifer Brady 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 to reach the last 16 at the #USOpen. First Slam in almost four years. Third tournament in almost four years. 2 kids later. She is still so GOOD.

The cutest moment. Congrats Coco Gauff 🫶🏼

another great semester in the books for the Tufts University Public Opinion Lab! once again I found the students in this semester's lab to be so incredibly smart, creative, and collaborative. i learned so much from them!

analyzing CES data, Thomas Hershewe, Zoe Kava and I add some context to discussions about the drop in support for Democrats among Black and Hispanic voters. we also direct attention to another trend that might be even more important in 2024. tufts-pol.medium.com/what-the-2022-…

new blog post from Thomas Hershewe, Zoe Kava, and me interrogating the notion that conservatives have more positive mental health ratings than liberals. with an experiment fielded on the 2023 CES, we provide evidence that this difference may not be real. tufts-pol.medium.com/do-conservativ…

Artemi Panarin. Overtime. Because of course.

me and Caroline Soler wrote a thing for Good Authority on how the noise about black voters abandoning the democratic party is mostly a mirage generated by the survey responses of black adults who don't vote. goodauthority.org/news/are-black…
