There are too many folks to thank here, but some special appreciation to everyone at @prl.bsky.social for the most professionally productive postdoc I could imagine, and my committee at UCLA PoliSci for their continued support. Looking forward to starting this next professional chapter!

That's probably correct, though this is subset to just partisan-identifiers/leaners, so at least not driven by pure independents.

We had an attention check that probably removes the worst of the satisficing/speeding, but I do believe that behavior is endemic in continuous scale responses.

I'll also mention that in our random forest models, the variable that always popped (even accounting for cardinality) was age: young Americans are significantly more antidemocratic. I imagine there's an interesting relationship to explore between age, affpol, and support for democracy.
