Daniel McDowell @danielmcdowell.bsky.social · 2d

see, that's already a great start. We'd probably want to get some historical cases in there, too. Quite a bit of data in the US alone--hopefully, this all stays in the history books.

S. Erdem Aytaç, David Steinberg and I have a new experimental study out now in @bjpols.bsky.social exploring the impact of inflation on support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
