  • Stats > Vibes

    I miss 538 man. But this feels like the next best thing now that it’s gone (also check out Galen Drukes podcast if you miss it like I do)

    I’m glad Elliott was ahead of the early 2025 vibes saying that Trump was some type of immortal force that couldn’t be stopped. That he did not get sucked into the narratives makes me trust him all the more, he doesn’t need to retroactively pretend like he was saying that the whole time like so many cable news talking heads are doing.

    Keep up the good work El... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deep Dive episode: What if our leaders are actually more responsive to public opinion than we think?
Q: What does your reanalysis imply about whether public opinion overall shapes policy when you account for interest groups?
Even after controlling for mass-based and business-based interest groups, there is evidence that public opinion matters and policy aligns with broad public sentiment more than the original, more pessimistic claims suggested.
Deep Dive episode: What if our leaders are actually more responsive to public opinion than we think?
Q: How does Simpson's Paradox affect the interpretation of policy responsiveness in this dataset?
Filtering the data to only cases where groups disagree creates a paradox where underlying positive responsiveness by all groups is masked, and the overall estimate appears flat or negative when all data are pooled.
Deep Dive episode: What if our leaders are actually more responsive to public opinion than we think?
Q: Peter, recap the Gillens and Page finding briefly and why it became so influential.
The core idea was that policy often tracked the affluent's preferences more than the middle- or lower-income groups, which fueled a narrative that democracy primarily serves the rich; the episode then examines how the analysis can be sensitive to methodological choices and data filtering.
I talk about my Friday column with Ryan Lizza
Q: How should analysts interpret polling errors and expectations in off-year elections?
Polling errors often come from attempting to weight samples to past elections; off-year electorates differ, and adjusting for that without new benchmarks leads to systematic biases; analysts should recalibrate expectations rather than overinterpret single-cycle outcomes.
I talk about my Friday column with Ryan Lizza
Q: What constitutes a realignment in politics, and did 2024 meet that threshold?
Realignment requires a substantial swing against the party in power, durable shifts across multiple subgroups, and long-term staying power; 2024 showed some shifts but not the durable, broad-based changes that would indicate a true realignment.
