🔎 Findings II (observational study):
We find conditional effects.
➡️ Media framing mattered mainly for ambivalent voters.
➡️ Strong partisans were largely unaffected.

🔎 Findings I (experiment):
We find unconditional framing effects.
➡️ Positive frames make voters more likely to see a party as a winner.
➡️ Negative frames make voters more likely to see it as a loser.

In this paper, we ask: does media framing of election results shape voters’ perceptions of winners & losers?
We test this with:
1️⃣ A survey experiment (fictional election)
2️⃣ An observational study of the 2021 German Federal Election

Who “won” an election isn’t always obvious. Results can be read differently: a party may do better than last time but worse than expected from pre-election polls.
