@ProfKarpo, @quinmonson, @jrpjrpjrp, & @agimenez05 argue that existing explanations of the partisan gender gap undervalue voters’ contributions by focusing on voter responses to candidate sex rather than candidate gender. #APSRFirstView. ow.ly/3oOP50QP7Ja

I played a role in conceptualizing this unique study (w/ @YouGovAmerica data) of 2024 election “pivot” voters in battleground states. Full full topline and memo of results, check out the link at the end of this thread from @y2analytics
General election polls at this stage in the race only mean so much. To help fill in the gaps, we propose an alternative view with a first-of-its-kind study about Pivot Voters.

⚡️RESULTS⚡️ Sizable persuasive advantage to targeting! Pooling across the 2 issues, targeting was ~70% more persuasive than single-best message and >200% more than naive. But NO return to *micro*targeting - targeting using 2 or 4 characteristics was no better than just 1 char

It was powerful to sing with Cantorum this morning (I’m hidden behind the bass drum). One doesn’t often get the chance to sing with bagpipes and organ at full tilt (plus the brass quintet on other numbers).
Celebrating Reformation Sunday at the Kirkin‘ o’ th’ Tartan service with our friends at the First Presbyterian Church. Highland Cathedral gets me every time.

Please bear with the thread, but Harry Reid meant a lot to me and I want to share a short story about why. In 2002, I was press secretary for Senator Paul Wellstone’s re-election campaign in Minnesota.

A Utah Rep. has embraced one of the most absurd conspiracy theories imaginable: A vast (and ineffective) effort to hack voting machines to steal votes IN UTAH, a state that hasn’t gone Dem in nearly 60 years. It defies logic. #utpol sltrib.com/news/politics/202…

What is the proper term to describe someone who lives in Utah? Our survey results overwhelmingly show that it's 'Utahn'. We are calling on national news orgs and Utah institutions to update their style guides. @APStylebook @PaulaFroke Full details: utpoliticaltrends.com/thedee…

Much of academic publishing is not a moneymaking venture. Today I received a statement in the mail from a publisher to tell me my royalty for 2020 was 90 cents.

What’s better than granting a scholarship for every Utah Jazz win this season? Getting to tell the recipients that their life is about to change ❤️

“The Hill We Climb” by ⁦@TheAmandaGorman⁩ was the inauguration highlight for me. It was made more meaningful having heard this story about her early this morning. I smiled with every r sound. npr.org/sections/biden-trans…

This is a fantastic internship!
I’m super excited about my new internship in the Lieutenant Governor’s office this semester 😬 and I couldn’t ask for a better supervisor. My staff told me that interns open the mail, so I guess I’m adding that to my to-do list. @BYU @SpencerJCox #utpol

This is a great read about the pathologies of unlimited partisanship by @JeremyCPope (and refreshed my recollection of a now ominous dinner with colleagues)

I think I’ve found a new font to try...
As the book designer who worked on J&JW, I'd just like to say how much I appreciate this conversation and I too *love* those exuberant capital Q's. Do note that the text proper is set in Garamond Premier Regular. The bold weight is used in the chapter titles and title page.
