Just dropped! My take on our new @prri.org American Values Survey. Key findings:
*Most Americans believe Trump has gone too far.
*56% now see Trump as a potentially dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy.

You have to see it to believe it. 22% favor repeal of the 19th and 21% adoption of a household vote (weighted). Those %s grow rapidly among complementarians - rising to 50% of men comps (30% of women comps) favoring a household vote; 42% of men comps (28% of women comps) favor repeal of the 19th.

Figure shows growing support for a household vote system as complementarianism grows, especially strongly among men complementarians.

We've seen religious elites and social media warriors call for the end of women’s suffrage. But we don’t have a sense of how everyday Americans feel about women’s political rights.

Until now.

We preview new survey results about repeal of the 19th Amendment and adoption of a household vote.

The Coming Battle Over Women’s Suffrage

By Paul A. Djupe and Brooklyn Walker [Image credit. National Women’s History Museum.] Every election cycle, millions of women cast votes. For many of them, their right to vote seems uncontroversial…

Much appreciated, Andrew!

This is research with @brooklynwalker.bsky.social @aesokhey.bsky.social Brian Calfano and Andrew Lewis using a big dataset of quota samples of ~1500 of white, Black, and Latino Christians from Fall 2022. We think it's time to stop assuming CN=White CN.

Paul Djupe @pauldjupe.bsky.social · 25d

The trick is that White CN has been found distinct on racialized issues (voting, policing, etc) but hasn't been tested on other issues. We did that and found almost zero daylight on social and economic issues between racial groups as their CN climbs. There's a LOT more agreement than anyone thought

Paul Djupe @pauldjupe.bsky.social · 25d

There is so much attention to White Christian nationalism as if it is a unique thing, distinct from Christian nationalisms held by other groups. I never really bought it and have now tested the racialized CN thesis w some excellent scholars just published in the great @poppublicsphere.bsky.social.

Political scientists are active in politics, but primarily in ways that share research findings and tend to avoid visible partisan politics.

For instance, a majority (53%) believes that we should remain impartial to retain our objectivity, but a sizable minority (32%) disagrees. We almost all agree that 'educating the public is an essential part of my career' (only 19% do not agree). Lots more fun insights about poli sci profs in here.

Paul Djupe @pauldjupe.bsky.social · Sep 30

Ever wondered how politically active political scientists are? Well, we did and asked a sample of us how much and what their beliefs are about being overtly, wear-it-on-your-sleeve active. The dominant perspective is that partisan politics tarnishes our credibility for the public. (1/2)

I propose that "atheist" & "agnostic" (much like "evangelical") are not only sociological identities, but inherently religio-political ones; the political nature is amplified when aligned with conventional political identities, but weakened when cross-pressured. 5/end doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...

*Readers should be extremely careful about accepting claims that worship attenders are actually more liberal.* Those findings are usually an artifact of stat modeling decisions. Excited to see this posted in Sociology. While it may seem like inside baseball, the public implications are important.

As we face worldwide democratic backsliding, can we count on civil society orgs like the Catholic Church (CC) to intervene as a backstop? In new research, @dinaosama.bsky.social‬ finds no unified response from natl CCs, but religious competition and previous 3rd wave support make it more likely.

NEW: Emboldened by Trump and the courts, conservative Christian lawmakers are now being open about using legislation to bring school kids to Christ. It’s a shift from even a few years ago, when such convos were often couched in “religious liberty,” etc.

It's a "wake up call," said one reverend.

In Texas, Christian right grows confident and assertive

Emboldened by court rulings and election victories, the Christian right is outspoken as it pushes its moral views through the Texas Legislature.
