How Media Track Who is “Winning”

How do media track who is “winning” in the race for the presidency? Kathleen Searles (University of South Carolina), David Wilson (UC Berkeley), Chris Jackson (Senior Vice President at IPSOS, lead of US Polling), and Josh Pasek (University of Michigan)– experts on political communication, public opinion, and election polls– will discuss what we know, and what is knowable, as the 2024 election approaches.

Sept. 19, 2024 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at ISR Thompson 1430.

Insights Talk: Partisan Hostility and American Democracy

For generations, experts argued that American politics needed cohesive parties to function effectively. Now many fear that strong partisan views, particularly hostility to the opposing party, are damaging democracy. In this Insights Talk, John Barry Ryan and Yanna Krupnikov address this concern with a nuanced evaluation of when and how partisan animosity matters in today’s highly charged, dynamic political environment, drawing on panel data from some of the most tumultuous years in recent American history, 2019 through 2021.

Oct. 24, 2024, at noon, at ISR Thompson 1430.
