Politicians’ perceptions of public opinion appear more closely linked to who they are than to who they talk to

⚠️Worrying, because many politicians soften simply see the public as a mirror of themselves.
✅Reassuring, because centrist politicians—often in government—should be more likely to get majority opinion right.
9/10
-Misperceptions are widespread
-They are most strongly associated with self-projection - Interest groups play a more modest, indirect role
This suggests that getting representation “right” depends more on curbing projection than on changing group contacts
8/10
If interest groups matter, their influence is mostly indirect—by shaping politicians’ own views, which in turn are associated with their (biased) perceptions of citizens.
