My wish for the next election is that poll trackers look like the one on the right 👉 not the left This was yet another election where the polling showed it could easily go either way, but most of the charts just showed two nice clean lines, one leading and one trailing. Bad!

New working paper on silicon sampling via LLMs with @VandyPoliSci colleagues @JamesBisbee, @joshclinton, Cassy Dorff, and @JMLisin. Bottom line: ChatGPT “data” overstates affective polarization, vastly understates variation. Comments/feedback welcome! https://t.co/ZKzpzjVI0H
