Republicans and Democrats Don't Understand Each Other

A new study shows Americans have little understanding of their political adversaries—and education doesn’t help.

theatlantic.com

A new study by More in Common (authors of the Hidden Tribes study) shows a perception gap between republicans and democrats The study shows that both republicans and democrats misjudge their idealogical counterparts. For democrats, the gap widens as they become more educated. For republicans the gap remains constant regardless of education. In general, people on both sides imagine a caricature of their counterparts. Below are a link to a writeup in The Atlantic as well as the source of the study. Note: I took the test and found that some of the questions weren't clearly identified as "disagree" questions (hence asking the negative of what I thought the question asked). It isn't clear if the questions used in the original study have this same issue, or if it occurred when the questionnaire was incorporated into the website. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/06/republicans-and-democrats-dont-understand-each-other/592324/ https://perceptiongap.us/
