Our conclusion is that survey professionalism is widespread on online panels, but these do not, by and large, distort inferences, making us cautiously optimistic about research using these online samples!

Very creative & well-done new @thejop.bsky.social: 🇩🇪 far-right support ⬆️ among people living near outdoor swimming pools when you enter summer months (when these pools become popular) -- but only in areas that have more immigrants.

Biennial update on racial resentment trends in the CES: after a white Dems shift *away* from racially liberal trajectory in 2022, we're back in that direction in 2024.

Interesting new JEPS on POC solidarity building. Besides substantive contribution, another example of getting creative with experiments to learn about mechanisms (vs. conventional mediation analysis-only).
On a very different topic, here's another good example along these methodological lines

Interesting new paper on this topic (www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...) -- misinfo itself has more direct, widespread consequences, but factual beliefs again seem to be outside of the equation

APSR will start inviting replications for a random subset of accepted papers. I really like this as well as the constructive tone around it 👏 (from the latest Notes from the Editors)

Interesting perspectives. Feels like some disconnect from standard polisci accounts (e.g. effects of misinfo/fact-checks often have limited scope, but that doesn't mean misinfo is overall inconsequential www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...).

Super valuable new study that randomly assigns 7k+ Americans to old vs. new Census race formats. Among many interesting patterns:
1. White & "some other race" %'s ⬇️ by 6 and 4 pts.
2. No change in overall Hisp and Black %'s.
3. Small but detectable ⬇️ Black + Hisp responses.

Just now seeing this paper reanalyzing the "Many Teams" paper on racial bias in soccer (29 teams analyze the same RQ with the same data, find different results). This reanalysis finds that variation in findings results from theoretical / interpretive differences.

It's wild to see some 2024 election polls show Hispanic vote split almost evenly across Biden/Trump (e.g. twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/st...)
Took a quick look at what various polls in last month show + how they compare to same time last cycle (Dec. 2019). For 2024, even split is actually not that typical

For any Premier League fans out there: a look at team performance relative to what we'd expect from expected goals now that we're ~halfway through the season. Hoping some of this underperforming (Chelsea) and overperforming (Tottenham) balances out the rest of the way 😬
