The 2024 election revealed a stark reality: our democracy exists in fragmented worlds. Voters operated in distinct informational ecosystems, shaped by disinformation, dark money, and polarized rhetoric.

A lot of questions about the poll, but why are folks (1) asking people about agreement or disagreement with statements on a 100 point scale, and (2) then dichotomizing that scale, and (3) using the value of 61 rather than 50 to split agree and disagree?
Beware the UVA poll going around on support for violence & democracy tinyurl.com/uvacpoll
I've never heard of firm; few details on methods/sample; and question wording is messy and non-standard. Our survey using more careful methods finds support for violence is extremely rare tinyurl.com/viol-poll
