		<description><![CDATA[This new study by Democracy Matters (as reported in Politico) is typical of a wave of recent commentary: The Democratic brand &#8220;is suffering,&#8221; as working-class voters see the party as &#8220;too focused on social issues and not nearly focused enough on the economic issues that impact every one, every day,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;We lost [&#8230;] <a href="https://peterlevine.ws/?p=34669">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Affective partnership means disliking people who belong to a competing party. This attitude can be defensible in certain circumstances, but it certainly poses an obstacle to regular democratic processes. To measure it, I use the American National Election Study&#8217;s &#8220;partisan thermometer&#8221; question, which asks people to rate members of the other party from 0-10.

		<description><![CDATA[From CIRCLE&#8217;s latest release, based on voter files: We estimate that 50% of young people, ages 18-29, voted in the 2020 presidential election, a remarkable 11-point increase from 2016 (39%) and likely one of the highest rates of youth electoral participation since the voting age was lowered to 18.&#160;&#8230; However, as is the case in [&#8230;] <a href="https://peterlevine.ws/?p=24276">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Latinos preferred Biden over Trump by 65%-32% according to the exit polls. There is some debate about that statistic, but it seems safe to say that Latinos tilt Democratic, yet somewhat less so than they did in the recent past. We also know that people who consider their own whiteness important to their identity are [&#8230;] <a href="https://peterlevine.ws/?p=24240">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CIRCLE has released a national survey of 2,645 eligible voters under 30 conducted between Nov. 3 and Dec. 2, 2020. Their release emphasizes that young people&#8211;especially those who supported Joe Biden&#8211;were highly engaged in the campaign, with nearly half talking to others about voting. CIRCLE also notes the salience of anti-racism: &#8220;68% said they saw [&#8230;] <a href="https://peterlevine.ws/?p=23884">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Turnout&#8221; is usually defined as the percentage of legally eligible people who actually vote. So defined, turnout was higher back in 1900, when no women and few African Americans were permitted to vote.
