🚨 🚨Calling all #polisky grad students who presented at #ISA2026: I'm chairing the committee for the Human Rights Section’s Steven C Poe best grad student paper award. We are currently accepting nominations, including self-nominations, and all you have to do is email your paper to me!

Q1: What will make Ds electable? Move to center.
Q2: Is D party radical? No.
Q3: Your personal view? Socialism = good.
IMO the more relevant classic cite for this poll result is not Converse (1964), but rather Zaller and Feldman (1992).
