1/ 📢Very excited to share a new open-access paper in @PolBehavior: “Party or Policy? The Role of Policy Partisanship in Voter Decision-Making”

Partisans often seem unwavering in their support for a politician/policy, even when faced with opposing evidence. But recent studies show that partisans can be persuaded. So how can both be true? My new @BJPolS paper explores this Q: https://t.co/2IWU2Si8EQ
