538: Democrats Are Wrong About Republicans.
Republicans Are Wrong About Democrats.
But what if Americans’ views of the parties, particularly whichever one they
don’t belong to, are, well, kind of wrong? That’s the argument of a study by scholars Douglas Ahler and Gaurav Sood that was recently published in
The Journal of Politics.
They had the polling firm YouGov ask American adults to estimate the size of groups in each
party. For example, what percentage of Democrats are black, or lesbian, gay or bisexual?
What percentage of Republicans earn more than $250,000 a year, or are age 65 or older?
