Who is more likely to give to charity, liberals or conservatives? And how much do they give? The answers (from our national survey) may surprise you

New poll shows Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey leading announced challenger Seth Moulton but only running even in a hypothetical matchup with Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. Danger sign for Markey #masspoli #Massachusetts #Dems #Markey

atheist/agnostic Americans are now the biggest single voting bloc in the Democratic Party, and their leftist views may be alienating another of the party's traditional sources of strength ... new piece from me and Steve Ansolabehere goodauthority.org/news/secul…

It's official. We've launched a new center at Tufts to expand viewpoints in higher education!
We'll have a lot going on this year: events, new curricula on controversial subjects, research convenings.

Despite an onslaught of TV ads, Josh Kraft appears to have made little headway against Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. The primary is only weeks away. Kraft seems to have underestimated Wu’s popularity. #Boston #mayors #elections bostonglobe.com/2025/08/24/m…

Young voters are NOT a monolith!
CIRCLE research finds that young people are primarily issue-based voters with a diverse set of issue concerns that drive their participation, and 2024 was no different!

New Globe/Suffolk poll shows candidate for Boston mayor Josh Kraft (Bob Kraft's son) in serious trouble--down 30 points to a popular incumbent. His unfavorables are particularly high for someone the voters know little about. #Boston #mapoli #mayors

Should Brookline replace Town Meeting government? Yes, it's an antiquated structure that is a poor fit for a town of Brookline's size #Brookline #Massachusetts #urban #mapoli

it's not just that Hispanic voters shifted Republican since 2020, it's also the case that some of them no longer even identify as Hispanic! new @goodauth post from me and @carolinelsoler goodauthority.org/news/democ…

Harris was perceived as more liberal than Biden, Clinton, or Obama had been when they ran. And while people saw Trump as more conservative than they had previously, they were still closer ideologically to him (1.62 points away) than Harris (2.06). cooperativeelectionstudy.shi…

There are a zillion podcasts out there but a new and unique one is Paul Manna's "Democracy in Five Minutes." His short narratives on questions about democracy are incisive and compelling. Access at di5m.podbean.com/ @pfmanna #democracy

Folks, I've started a podcast. It's called Democracy in Five Minutes. You can find it wherever you get your favorite podcasts. See what you think. I'd be glad to hear your ideas for future episodes, too.

First poll out on Boston's mayor's race: Incumbent Michelle Wu leads with 43%. Challenger Josh Kraft is not as far behind as might have been expected at 29%. Kraft has no experience in politics but comes from the well-known football family #Boston #mapoli

With full control of the government, Republican proposals in the Congress aimed at the nonprofit sector are a serious threat. For example, going after c3-c4 combinations #nonprofits #charity

Rupert Murdoch fails in effort to change family trust to favor one child's control of Fox empire over his siblings. Sounds like a great plot for a TV show #Fox #Succession #Murdochs

polls missed big in 2016, but pollsters spent the past 8 years adapting to those misses and these adjustments worked pretty well in 2024. my new @goodauth piece with @carolinelsoler goodauthority.org/news/polls…

Tufts' CIRCLE's new report on the youth vote in 2024 shows that participation declined (42% in 2024 vs. 50% in 2020). Harris carried the vote from 18-29 year olds by only 4% #youth #voting #Election2024 @CivicYouth @TuftsUniversity
