in 2008, Conservative Jews voted similarly to Reform/Reconstructionist Jews but by 2024 there was more than a 20-point gap between those two groups

Republican tactics seem likely to weaken the Senate – and make fiscal crisis more likely.

it's not just that Hispanic voters shifted Republican since 2020, it's also the case that some of them no longer even identify as Hispanic! new @goodauth post from me and @carolinelsoler

it has been 10 years since the last @PewReligion Religious Landscape Study, so it was exciting to have a chance to see how the CES religion items stacked up against this benchmark. overall, these surveys produce very similar portraits of religion in America!.

how accurate is the CES at measuring religion? very. my comparison with Pew's latest Religious Landscape Study shows impressive accuracy, with most differences within 3 percentage points. but the CES does capture a slightly more secular America:

Egan: "the CES is currently political scientists’ most comprehensive source of large, representative samples of sexual and gender minorities in the United States." . he humbly fails to note that this is due to his encouragement that we include key items.
