Wurden die statistischen Unsicherheiten klar kommuniziert, stieg die Bereitschaft zur KPÖ-Wahl.
Vor allem linke Wähler:innen ließen sich von der 4%-Hürde weniger abschrecken, wenn sie die Schwankungsbreiten des KPÖ-Werts kannten.

Teilnehmende unseres Surveys sahen Umfragen mit und ohne Schwankungsbreiten.
Die KPÖ lag hier nah an, aber knapp unterhalb der 4%-Hürde.

Parteien, die in Umfragen knapp unter der Sperrklausel lagen, hatten eine signifikant geringere Chance, ins Parlament einzuziehen.
Dieser Unterschied verringert sich jedoch, wenn Wähler:innen Hinweise auf die (statistischen) Unsicherheiten von Umfragewerten hatten.

Wir vergleichen Parteien, die unmittelbar vor einer Wahl in Umfragen knapp über der Sperrklausel lagen, mit denen knapp darunter.
Dazu nutzen wir ein Regression Discontinuity Design.

Doch was bedeutet das für ihre Wahlchancen?
Neue Studie mit @christinagahn.bsky.social!
Wir zeigen, dass Parteien, die auch nur knapp unter der Sperrklausel liegen, eine signifikant geringere Chance haben, ins Parlament einzuziehen.

Based on granular geodata [100m x 100m] provided by
the JCR of the EC, you can use five different weights (area, 2011/2018 pop size, 2012/2018 built-up area).

We've updated the data on
- parliamentary elections (n=1060),
- presidential elections (n=380), and
- cabinets (n=1961)
covering 73 countries globally until 2023.

We hope that data is helpful to the community!

Key Findings:
- MoEs can significantly influence citizens' voting choices, particularly in closely contested electoral races.
- Interpretative guidance plays a pivotal role in shaping voters' responses.
- This points to journalistic influence as a decisive factor.

We test this using a vignette experiment prior to the 2021 German election.
Respondents were shown different polls w/ & w/o MoEs.
We also varied the polling gaps & added interpretative guidance, emphasizing or downplaying the closeness of the race.

Voters are exposed to an increasing number of polling results prior to election day. At the same time, elections are frequently won only by small winning margins.
Would voters change their voting decisions if MoEs signaled that an electoral race is tightly contested?

@ChristinaGahn & I explore the impact of displaying margins of error (MoE) in public opinion polls on citizens' voting intentions.
We use a vignette experiment with > 3000 respondents in Germany.
