Yet, for workers like Mr. Hewlett, who has no special skills and is not in a position to acquire any, this flexibility is a curse — and one of the reasons that poorer, less-educated Britons voted heavily to quit the European Union.
|
|
Even before Trump's victory, however, Judis had reversed course and argued that he had underestimated how significant less-educated white voters were to Democrats' electoral chances and how economically progressive policies were a bigger part of Democrats' appeal to voters as a whole.

BOSTON, Oct 4 (Reuters) - For much of the 20th century incomes grew faster in poorer areas of the United States than in richer ones, workers relocated to find the best opportunities, and the benefits of economic growth spread even to the less educated.
|
|
A consequence is that the number of states requesting or requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls has increased to 32, from 14 in 2000, making it more difficult for poorer, less educated voters to cast their ballots.
|

Jean Chiche, a voting science researcher at Sciences-Po university in Paris, reckons the gulf in life experience between highly educated, urban-based pollster statisticians and less educated working-class voters in rural or suburban areas is a hard one to bridge.
|
|
This relationship is concentrated among less educated people; non–college graduates who think of foreign aid as military spending estimate the foreign aid budget to be twice as high as their peers who do not think of foreign aid in this way.
|
|
It might have more to do with the fact that these people tend to be less educated and white — factors that incline people to support far-right anti-immigrant politicians around the world, like France's Marine Le Pen and the Netherlands' Geert Wilders.
|
|
But as one reads the nuances of what you're saying, I perceive that we really have two stories: a retreat from liberalism in the lower part of society, the poor part, the less educated; and a retreat from democracy in the fancier part.
|
|
We know, not only from the Trump campaign, but also from the successes of Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin and others, that pandering to the anxieties of lower-income, less-educated or older white voters is where we find the most energy today in American politics.

"Virtually all economic analyses of the proposed TPP … provided empirical arguments that the TPP would raise U.S. workers' income, both for highly educated and less educated workers," according to Jeffrey Bergstrand, finance professor at the University of Notre Dame and a former Federal Reserve economist.
|
|
The study also found that in contrast to al-Qaeda, ISIS members from Europe were significantly less educated and had spottier employment records: Only 20% of the ISIS recruits studied had attended high school, and only 3% had completed undergraduate studies, the report concludes.
|
|
Again, heavy drinking was higher amongst whites than other groups, but both the uptick in drinking as well as smoking marijuana in the last ten years was driven by those whites surveyed who had more than a high school education, not the less-educated.
|
|
People are less inclined to vote if they don't see people like themselves in Parliament: the gap in turnout between more and less educated voters increased from five percentage points in 20153, when there were still many working-class MPs, to 37 points in 2015.
|
|
The most powerful argument for worrying about the number of less-educated people in Parliament is the same as the case for worrying about the number of women or ethnic minorities: that some groups have experiences in common that give them a claim to representation.
|
|
With that said, the fact that Trump did well from the start among less-educated Republicans doesn't mean that he was rallying an army of unemployed opioid-addicted white single moms from Charles Murray's Fishtown, as some of the coverage occasionally made it sound.
|
|
Well-educated, establishment-minded analysts — whether in journalism, finance or betting markets — may have a tendency to discount the willingness of populist, conservative and less educated voters to support candidates and policies that previously seemed unfathomable, even when the polls say it could really happen.
|
|
For example... If you're out of work in Boston, you're most likely to be less educated and of prime age, according to a Brookings study released in June, called "Meet the out-of-work," a snapshot into how work has changed since the early 2000s.

True, it's been proved by previous research that less-educated people develop dementia at a higher rate than people who put more time into the books, explained Robert Wilson, lead author of the study and director of cognitive neurosciences at Rush Medical College in Chicago.
|
|
Athena is surprised to learn that Crystal knows Animal Farm at all: Crystal, with her dyed blonde hair and Southern accent is, presumably, less educated and cultured than Athena, who, despite being a kidnapper and murderer, considers herself to be the upper-echelon of class.
|
|
The higher-than-expected turnout might have inadvertently contributed to a 2016-like pattern, since lower-turnout voters in the big urban states tend to be nonwhite and Democratic, while lower-turnout voters in rural, less educated states tend to be white working-class voters.
|
|
Where M.B.S. has to watch his way is with the religious establishment, which can still activate the large pool of less-educated and pious rural and small-town Saudis, if they feel social norms are changing too fast or massive youth unemployment isn't being fixed.
|
|
But conceptually, it starts with three simple observations about turnout in midterm elections dating to 1982, based on available voter file, census and polling data: Turnout among young, nonwhite and less educated voters is consistently lower relative to older, white and more educated voters.
|
|
Like many towns in Iowa, they have been losing more college-educated voters than they retain, leaving a less educated and less mobile group of voters more likely to vote for Republicans, whom they see as more in touch with their lives and beliefs.
|
|
In Indiana, in particular, as in other so-called Rust Belt states, there are a lot of people who are less educated: Just 16.5 percent of the state's residents ages 25 to 64 have a bachelor's degree, half the rate for the country over all.
|
|
In a study published last month, the economists David Autor, David Dorn and Gordon Hanson found that shocks that reduced job opportunities for less-educated Americans, such as that delivered by the surge of imports from China since 2000, unleashed an array of unhealthy responses.
|
|
As a result, some of them have found results and some of them have found none; some have found results only for certain subgroups (like less-educated lottery winners) and some have found opposite results for different measures of wellbeing (like physical and mental health).
|
|
Signs advertising "Fresh Fish" rather than Fresh Fish make it clear how easy it is for less educated or immigrant writers to mistake quotation marks as substitutes for underlining -- my favorite example of this was a store in New York advertising that one could Make "A" Salad!
|
|
In her view, the original product was developed "to remove all friction from sharing" without prompts to "contextualize or comment" on forwarded content, a dangerous precedent that — when put in an environment where people are less educated, less experienced about the web — can have dire consequences.
|
|
Since the authors of the paper were able to use more updated data on the propensities of black and white, educated and uneducated, and wealthy and middle-class voters to cast ballots, they foresaw an electorate that was whiter and less educated than others were expecting.
|
|
The white women who voted for Clinton are also the white women who, at least on paper, have the most freedom and independence: Those with college degrees, who are likelier than their less-educated cohorts to work outside the home and to marry later in life.
|

Thomas B. Edsall A general election that pits Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump will produce a decisively more affluent and better educated Democratic presidential electorate and a decidedly less affluent and less educated Republican one than in any previous election going back as far as 1976.
|
|
Others point to the differences in education levels between the races as a factor, although since black Americans with higher levels of education have had unemployment levels similar to those of their less educated white peers, it is unlikely that education accounts for much of the difference.
|
|
Many of the red states with growing nonwhite populations also have the sort of older, Southern, less educated and more religious white populations that have trended toward the Republicans, even in states with far less demographic change and far fewer nonwhite voters (Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Missouri).
|
|
Also plausible is basically the opposite conclusion: These are relatively well-off less-educated blue collar workers who see poorer blue collar whites who are suffering (as indicated by low mobility and poor health in the region) and view them as undeserving recipients of government aid.
|
|
The nature of their migration also differed: according to a European Union report, female Georgian émigrés were often young and well educated, and gravitated toward Western Europe and America, while male émigrés were older and less educated, and generally sought work in Russia and its former states.
|
|
Few if any of the public pollsters that conducted surveys ahead of Tuesday's elections for governor in Virginia and New Jersey appear to have adopted significant methodological changes intended to better represent the rural, less educated white voters who pollsters believe were underrepresented in pre-election surveys.
|
|
The rise of outsourced work adds an important twist to the standard understanding of America's growing wage inequality, which is based on the notion that technology has left less-educated workers behind — taking over their routine jobs while opening lucrative new possibilities for the better-educated.
|
|
Trump crowed in his Nevada victory speech on Tuesday night that he "won Hispanics," but according to surveys of voters as they entered caucuses or exited polling places, his coalition is made up mostly of whites — specifically, less-educated members of an increasingly disaffected working class.
|
|
But this option would by and large be available only to those with extensive education: Labor force participation among seniors is strongly correlated with education, in part because the highly educated are healthier than the less educated, and in part because their jobs require less physical effort.
|
|
But more recently, Collier argues, these reciprocal obligations unraveled as class divides, separating the educated from the less educated, and regional divides, separating dense metropolitan areas that attracted a critical mass of educated professionals from smaller cities and towns that did not, have strained national loyalties.

A lot of how Biden got to be vice president in the first place had to do with the idea that he would help Obama appeal to the kind of voters — older, less educated white Northerners who aren't evangelical Christians — who we know eventually ended up defecting to Trump.
|
|
He has found that less-educated whites indicating low levels of racial resentment did not, in fact, flee the Democratic Party while Obama was president; only those with high levels of racial resentment, or who expressed the belief that discrimination against black Americans is relatively rare, did so.
|
|
For this uniquely positioned group-within-a-group, these organizations and institutions are just as much about creating a space where their Blackness is affirmed and prioritized as it is about keeping other Black folks — those who are less educated and/or from the middle and working class — out.
|
|
But with the actual results in and counted from two states, it is clear that Mr. Sanders is faring much better among less educated and working-class white voters than Barack Obama did in 203, or than other idealistic liberal candidates like Howard Dean and Bill Bradley did.
|
|
A new study published Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research argues against the first interpretation, showing that between 1997 and 2012, areas that experienced fracking booms — and therefore increased wages and economic opportunity for the less-educated — experienced a spike in birth but not marriage rates.

" He added, "The British are saying, 'Let's see how we can help the main smokers today, who by the way are largely poor and less educated, and let's not focus so much on kids, who may or may not be sickened by this 40 years down the line.
|
|
Mr. Trump has consistently scored better with less-educated voters, and the elections on Tuesday were no exception: Even as he lost Ohio by 11 points, Mr. Trump won pluralities there of white voters who lack college degrees, and of Ohioans who earn less than $50,000 per year.
|
|
In short, parties are increasingly divided on a growing range of issues that pit their less-educated, lower-income voters who feel left behind by the current political-economic system against their better-educated, higher-income voter who don't want to mess too much with the status quo.
|
|
Christopher Achen, a political scientist at Princeton, wrote me: The exit polls have traditionally overrepresented college grads, and even more dramatically postgrads, probably because less-educated people are less inclined to respond to the interviewers unless they are particularly enthusiastic about a candidate and want to say so.
|
|
The major concern for the labor market in the United States, Autor wrote, is not the number of jobs per se, but the decline in labor's share of value-added and, even more urgently, the steep falls in earnings among less-educated workers, which certainly have a technological origin.
|
|
Education weighting seems to explain a lot Education was a huge driver of presidential vote preference in the 2016 election, but many pollsters did not adjust their samples — a process known as weighting — to make sure they had the right number of well-educated or less educated respondents.
|
|
MIT's freshly minted "The Work of the Future" report pulls together a great deal of superb recent research to show that, since the 1970s, less-educated workers have seen less and less opportunity in cities, even though many social scientists expected the demands for their services should be increasing.
|
|
As a group, they were outpacing the thousands more refugees who did not have sponsors and were being resettled by the government — only about 10 percent of them had jobs (on the whole, they were less educated and had higher rates of serious health problems and other needs).
|
|
Because consumers would have to use their smartphones to scan a barcode or QR code on products while shopping, the senators want to know how GMA will ensure that consumers who don't have smartphones — typically elderly, low-income or less-educated individuals — would be able to obtain the information.
|
|
"It's too early to figure out whether that's the new normal for Democrats to get in the upper 20s [among less educated white voters] at the statewide level or if it's a onetime phenomenon that reverts back to getting 36 to 37 percent," said Jill Normington, a Democratic pollster.
|
|
Limbaugh, along with a squad of other conservative hosts, including Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, and Laura Schlessinger, provided a potent mix of political commentary and entertaining emotional bluster, channeling and escalating anger among conservative listeners who were mostly white, less educated, and outside the coastal cities where most national media originated.
|
|
While the death rate among young whites rose for every age group over the five years before 2014, it rose faster by any measure for the less educated, by 23 percent for those without a high school education, compared with only 4 percent for those with a college degree or more.
|
|
But while Democrat Barack Obama did that eight years ago by largely registering new voters, including record levels of minorities, both male and female, in urban centers, Trump's campaign has instead largely sought out the disaffected, who tend to be overwhelmingly older, white, and less educated than the broader electorate.
|

Mr Trump's message blasting international trade, illegal immigration and corporate outsourcing go down well in the rustbelt bits of the Midwest, which are on average whiter, less educated and older than the rest of the country—and are still smarting from the loss of 6m manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2009.
|
|
To the Editor: If we believe the study quoted by N. Gregory Mankiw, there are two categories of voters: those who believe that global trade is intrinsically good (as advertised by mainstream economists), and the less educated and therefore "isolationist, nationalist and ethnocentric," who are skeptical of global trade and outsourcing.
|
|
This is mainly attributable to higher levels of support for Mr. Kavanaugh among less engaged, less educated and nonwhite Democrats: Seventy-three percent of nonwhite Democrats, 78 percent of Democrats without a college degree, and 70 percent of Democrats who didn't vote in the 51 midterm election opposed Mr. Kavanaugh.
|
|
Maybe mass television appeal and superficial markers of strength, leadership or masculinity would matter more in a high-turnout election, when less educated and less political engaged voters who know nothing about Medicare for all will flock to the polls after a year of watching two candidates dominate television coverage.
|
|
The results varied across demographics, with less-educated men more likely to support the name-changing tradition, saying that a woman who chooses a different last name from her husband is not as committed to the marriage — and that her husband is more justified in filing for divorce if she works too much.
|
|
Moreover, the new arrivals, though still less educated on average compared with native-born persons, are more educated and come from a more diverse set of countries of origin than the immigrants arriving at the end of the 20th century (see the chart below for the educational distribution of recent immigrants over time).
|

"If we take the rise of the outsider as a dominant theme in American politics now, clearly part of that is the general feeling that the recovery has been much slower than it should be, particularly for less educated workers and individuals with lower incomes," said Peter Ireland, an economist at Boston College.
|
|
But Ms Bertrand and Mr Kamenica suggest there is no significant sign of an increasing gap in consumption, time use or most attitudes over the past two decades between rich and poor, more or less educated, urban and rural, male and female, white and non-white (with the partial exception of consumption patterns).
|
|
This dichotomy between economic status and the sociocultural aspects of "class" has become a hallmark of the Trump years, in which political disagreements between white Americans have come to be deeply polarized between the more and less educated even while the policy orientation of the GOP remains overwhelmingly focused on the wealthy.
|
|
After decades of free-trade orthodoxy, there has been growing resistance to further liberalizing the movement of goods, services, capital and labor, fueled by fears that the benefits have flowed disproportionately to corporations, investors and well-educated workers — and that the harm to less-educated workers has outweighed the benefits to consumers.
|
|
The lack of expanded job opportunities will diminish employment prospects for the 350,000 16- to 24-year-olds in the New York City metropolitan area who are neither in school nor at work and for less educated black men 25 to 29 years old who now have employment rates below 30 percent.
|
|
A key sub-group was missing: The party's leading candidates have not yet reached the real missing piece of the Democratic coalition: less educated and often younger voters who are not conservative but who disagree with the party's cultural left and do not share that group's unrelenting outrage at the president's conduct. Bummer!
|
|
"The outspoken group of Democratic-leaning voters on social media is outnumbered, roughly 85033 to 1, by the more moderate, more diverse and less educated group of Democrats who typically don't post political content online," report Nate Cohn and Kevin Quealy in an extensive survey of the "super-activists" who embody political Twitter.
|
|
Moreover, there is a class component to the question of whether women vote: Chronic nonvoters are more likely to be lower income, less likely to be married, less educated, and more likely to be a member of a racial minority group — though they were still predominantly white — according to the Knight study.

" Trump has stuck to the friendly contours of Trump country, mostly traveling to "counties that are whiter, less educated and have lower incomes than the rest of the United States, according to Census Bureau data," per AP's Josh Boak: "[H]e's primarily been jet-setting to smaller places such as Elko, Nevada (population 20,078).
|

I.O., wrote in response to my email inquiry: Cobble together Trump's older, less educated, lower income, white soft-Republicans, Independents and his less hard-line conservative voters with Senator Sanders's younger, white, less than $100K family income, Dems and Independents — along with historic Democratic base constituencies and you've got a potent formula for success.
|
|
Unless there's some other way that being born in the first quarter of the school year should lower the earnings of high school dropouts, beyond them being less educated, this method should give a sound estimate of the effects of compulsory schooling itself, and on the effects of having more months of school on earnings.
|
|
Dambisa Moyo: The fact that the OECD report claims that this generation of Americans for the first time in the history of the United States will be less educated than the preceding generation means that we do need to do something quite aggressive I believe in order to get more voters to the ballot polls.
|
|
On the other side, Norris and Inglehart write, is a counterrevolution, a retro backlash, especially among the older generation, white men, and less educated sectors, who sense decline and actively reject the rising tide of progressive values, resent the displacement of familiar traditional norms, and provide a pool of supporters potentially vulnerable to populist appeals.
|
|
He doesn't specify who has been "forgotten," but you can fill in the blanks—he means his supporters, people who tend to live in places that are whiter, older, and less educated than other parts of the US. The notion that drove his candidacy is that he'll be a better president for those Americans than Obama was.
|
|
As with the Brexit referendum and the US election last year, the election was fought on the fault line between well-off, cosmopolitan, urban elites and insurgents who tapped the frustrations of rural, less-educated and poorer voters, ones who are fixated on immigration policies and feel disenfranchised in a global economy that has hemorrhaged blue collar jobs.
|
|
Clinton has campaigned with an eye toward turning out specific voter groups in crucial states — firing up black voters in North Carolina and Latinos in South and Central Florida, for instance — Mr. Trump has crisscrossed a wider map of states, but he has done little to attract support beyond his mostly white, less educated political base.
|
|
That is to say, the most important social divide today is between a well-educated America that is marked by economic openness, traditional family structures, high social capital and high trust in institutions, and a less-educated America that is marked by economic insecurity, anarchic family structures, fraying community bonds and a pervasive sense of betrayal and distrust.
|
|
The only way to make sense of what happened is to see the vote as an expression of, well, identity politics — some combination of white resentment at what voters see as favoritism toward nonwhites (even though it isn't) and anger on the part of the less educated at liberal elites whom they imagine look down on them.
|
|
In one of the most recent papers on socioeconomic and racial disparities in cancer mortality, published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health in 2017, researchers found that areas of the US that are wealthier, along with groups with higher levels of education and income, have lower cancer mortality than their poorer, less educated counterparts.
|
|
The Financial Times noted that the pattern in France was echoed in the 443 Brexit referendum, in the presidential election here and in the recent Dutch election: In each of these plebiscites, education emerged as the strongest predictor of votes for a right populist option, where the less educated chose it more often than those with degrees.

"Non-users of the bike helmet are more likely to be less educated or aware of the protective nature of the helmet; to be risk-takers and have a perception that they can handle risky road situations; and consider wearing helmet not a practical thing to do, or not a cool thing to do," Bazargan-Hejazi said.
|
|
David Buss, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas-Austin, elaborated on Geary's point in an email, stressing the lower proportion of men than women getting college degrees: Women have strong mate preferences such that they do not want to mate or marry men who are less educated, less intelligent, and less successful than they are.
|
|
But as of Election Day 2016 it was certainly possible to squint at Trump and see the outlines of an ideological shakeup — a figure who would attempt to represent the interests of the Republican Party's electoral base of older-skewing, less-educated white people rather than hew strictly to the reanimated corpse of Reaganism like the vast majority of the party's elected officials.
|
|
Its website links to a 2016 Gallup poll that found lower-income and less educated Americans were less likely to say they had bought a state lottery ticket in the past year — about 40 percent for people with a household income of less than $36,000 per year, versus 20103 percent and 53 percent for middle- and high-income people, respectively.
|
|
It said it found that growth in news consumption across social media platforms is being driven by increases among Americans who are "older, less educated and non-white" — noting that for the first time in Pew Research Center surveys more than half (55%) of Americans aged 50 or older report getting news on social media sites — up 433 percentage points from 2016.

Borrowing a page from the late 85033th-century Sultan Abdülhamid II's handbook, Erdoğan has perfected the use of religion as a unifying factor when addressing the long disaffected, often poor, and sometime less-educated Sunni Muslim Turkish nationalists — those often simply referred to in Turkey as "Turks," as opposed to other Turkish citizens who are ethnically Kurdish, Armenian, Jewish, Greek, Arab, etc.

Republican pollster B.J. Martino on Tuesday argued that President TrumpDonald John TrumpFacebook releases audit on conservative bias claims Harry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Recessions happen when presidents overlook key problems MORE's immigration proposal is driven in large part by an economy where less-educated workers are not in demand.

|
While less-educated immigrants are no less admirable and hard-working than those who have managed to acquire the skills most prized in our polarized labor market, there is clear evidence that they and their children need more of a helping hand from social programs, and that their descendants are more likely to assimilate downward when that help does not suffice.
|
|
The way he roots through the garbage cans in the winter snow and in the summer heat with an admirable persistence serves as a touchstone, fuelled by the concept of mental illness afloat over the land, even, say, for the less educated observers who just see him and think, Fucking crazy old homeless bastard hanging in there, still going, still doing his thing.
|
|
To the extent that there really is such a thing as American carnage — and we are in fact seeing rising age-adjusted mortality and declining life expectancy — it's concentrated among less-educated whites, especially in rural areas, who are suffering from a surge in "deaths of despair" from opioids, suicide and alcohol that has pushed their mortality rates above those of African-Americans.
|
|
When the black-white disparity in infant mortality first became the subject of study, discussion and media attention more than two decades ago, the high rate of infant death for black women was widely believed by almost everyone, including doctors and public-health experts, to affect only poor, less-educated women — who do experience the highest numbers of infant deaths.
|
|
Because the future of the race depended on it, we also promoted a kind of each-one-teach-one mentality: Encourage teenagers in your orbit to just say no to sex and educate all the "sisters" in your life (read: your less-educated and less-privileged friends and family) about the importance of prenatal care and healthful habits during pregnancy.
|
|
They found that the biggest portion were less educated people who should've been in the prime of their working lives: And there was a high probability these people were either foreign-born or had limited English proficiency: Even among the moderately educated there were common barriers, like a need to care for young children or a job market that no longer values their skill set.
|
|
So the fact that Trump's winning coalition was ultimately more heterogeneous (as winning coalitions tend to be) doesn't change the fact that he was propelled into his early, self-reinforcing edge lead by heavy support from less-educated Republicans: They were his initial base, his first and fiercest loyalists, even if he ultimately won the nomination by winning a more diverse array of votes.
|
|
Will the former go the way of Times' editorialists like David Brooks, who relieved himself of the opinion that "less-educated and non-college educated whites are going to vote for Donald Trump no matter what…people are just going with their gene pool," a comment that, had it been made in reference to people voting for Clinton, would have been the end of that person's career?
|
|
For a clinical rather than impressionistic assessment of this trend, you can turn to the new report from Senator Mike Lee's Joint Economic Committee, which tracks "brain drain" trends across American states and finds a pattern, both longstanding and accelerating, in which the highly-educated cluster in "dynamic states" and "major metropolitan areas," leaving less-educated Americans in "rural and post-industrial states" behind.
|
|
So when we talk about Trump's working-class rebellion, or some such, we still mean a working-class rebellion in the context of the Republican coalition — a revolt in which Trump wooed a less-educated and somewhat less-well-off constituency than his rivals or the typical G.O.P. nominee, but did not create an entirely new type of poor white Republican out of non-voters or ex-Democrats.
|
|
The thing that is different this time is that all that I've said about already less-educated, lower-skilled workers is beginning to apply more to middle-skill and even higher-skill professional and white-collar work, which may become more susceptible given the improvement of things like AI. Our recent research has shown that AI is disproportionally utilized in white collar, middle management, or upper management areas.
|
|
As the New York Times's Nate Cohn reported, most public polls, conducted through newspapers and colleges, actually haven't changed how they do things: Few if any of the public pollsters that conducted surveys ahead of Tuesday's elections for governor in Virginia and New Jersey appear to have adopted significant methodological changes intended to better represent the rural, less educated white voters who pollsters believe were underrepresented in pre-election surveys.

Walker: Triumph of past over future The Brexit vote has been a victory of the past over the future; of the old over the young; of the less educated over the university graduates; of the less skilled over the nimble who could adapt to the post-industrial age; of The Sun and Daily Mail over the FT and The Guardian; of the nativists over the cosmopolitans; of little England over Great Britain.

The Democratic Electorate on Twitter Is Not the Democratic Electorate in Real Life Nate Cohn and Kevin Quealy report that there are important differences between Democrats on Twitter and Democrats in real life: The outspoken group of Democratic-leaning voters on social media is outnumbered, roughly 2 to 1, by the more moderate, more diverse and less educated group of Democrats who typically don't post political content online, according to data from the Hidden Tribes Project.

If the regulation is implemented in its current form — something that most of the people submitting public comments are hoping to prevent, and that (if the administration doesn't revise the rule before finalizing it) advocates may sue to avoid— it has the potential, depending on how it's interpreted on the ground, to change the face of legal immigration to America by sharply reducing family-based immigration from lower-income, less educated people in countries like China, Mexico, and Cuba.
|
|
Trump's lies and his defiance of politically correct norms have enabled him to capitalize on a groundswell of anti-elite populist animosity — an animosity that Ronald Inglehart and Pippa Norris, authors of "Trump, Brexit, and the Rise of Populism," call counterrevolutionary retro backlash, especially among the older generation, white men, and less educated sectors, who sense decline and actively reject the rising tide of progressive values, resent the displacement of familiar traditional norms, and provide a pool of supporters potentially vulnerable to populist appeals.
