New data analysis shows Harris didn't lose because Democrats stayed home. Even with 100% turnout of 2020 Biden voters, she would have lost. One key factor? New 2024 voters broke heavily for Trump.

Great post from @farrahbostic.bsky.social (citing some of our @changeresearch.com data) on how pols can use public opinion data to champion ethical policy on immigration, rather than concede to a false narrative about majority support for deportations.
