Imagine asking people two questions -- whether each of these is a good or bad way to run a govt: 1) having a democratic political system 2) having a strong leader who does not have to bother with parliament and elections What percent says *both* are good? 44%!
The results of the Norwegian school election have just been published. This is a mock election held at Norwegian secondary schools, with voters being age ~16-19. I have mapped out the results, which show the right-wing parties doing much better than among the general electorate.
The share of voters who support a woman's right to get an abortion "for any reason if she wants one" continued to increase in 2024 to 58%. 12 years ago it was 42%!

It sort of weird that Donald Trump won one-in-eight Black voters and nearly split Hispanics evenly, while wealthy suburbs increasingly lean D, yet we consistently say that there are no swing voters left.
8/9 We also look at education. Using an LLM to tier schools (1=elite … 5=lowest), we find a U-shape: the steepest declines is coming from juniors from tier 2–3 schools; tiers 1 and 4 are smaller; tier 5 is near zero.
Cool study that uses LinkedIn data and a triple-difference design to find that companies that posted “AI integrator” roles saw large declines in new hires for junior employees relative to senior employees, with effect sizes from AI surging after ChatGPT’s release in early 2023

@JHWeissmann Politics aside, this nugget from my favorite paper on narcissism makes a good case for avoiding people who constantly feel disrespected like the plague. researchgate.net/publication/46…

The biggest story of the 2024 election was large gains for Trump with Nonwhite voters. New registration data shows a total collapse for Democrats with Gen Z Nonwhite voters, especially men.
@McKenzieAWilson of Blue Rose Research joins The Gist to dissect why Dems keep losing the branding war—alienating language, ignoring cost-of-living pain, and Gen Z drifting right. Plus: Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” detention plan, killed by orchids & panthers. And Israel,…
Joined Mike's @PescaGist podcast to talk about why Democrats lost in November, how the affordability crisis is voters' #1 concern, and how Democrats need to rethink our comms ahead of next November. Take a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/6R8pIj…

it is especially striking to see how non-religious the Democratic Party has become over the past two decades
