Latinos aren’t just turning away from the Democrats – they’re becoming more politically disengaged | USAPP Latinos who born in the US are becoming less politically engaged overall.

Latinos aren’t just turning away from the Democrats – they’re becoming more politically disengaged find @derekwakefield.bsky.social of Bucknell University, Bernard L. Fraga of Emory University and Colin Fisk

We also find that while older Latinos and 1st Latino generation immigrants were distinctively Democratic through 2008, they then shifted (partially) more GOP post-2016; younger and US-born Latinos are declining for both and increasing in Independent during the same timeframe

Out now: my article (w/ Bernard Fraga and Colin Fisk) @JREP on trends in Latino party ID over the last 3 decades. We find relative stability through the Obama years but declining Democratic and accelerating Independent ID during the Trump years cup.org/42Uq8Dg

Thanks Robert!! Your work sounds intriguing too, I love your emphasis on how technology and modern media shapes our politics. Happy to connect with a fellow #Salvi and hopefully will continue to do so :) I’m trying to be on this platform more than the other one!

¿Se arrepienten latinos en EE. UU. de haber votado a Trump? – DW – 14/02/2025 En Internet circulan varios videos e imágenes de latinos en EE. UU. que o bien se arrepienten de haber votado a Trump o bien están a punto de ser deportados. ¿Es eso cierto?

I got to speak with a German reporter at Deutsche Welle for their Spanish-language section on the topic of recent memes depicting "regretful Latino Trump supporters" being deported.

I emphasized that Latino voters are by definition not undocumented:

Thank you so much Eric!!!

IT'S OFFICIAL! My article "It's the Economy: The Effect of Economic Policy Appeals on Latino Independents" has been published at
@PolBehavior

I argue that while Latino partisans are already sorted, Latinos who remain independent are more persuaded by economic appeals

Mississippi has a bill introduced (HB 1484) that:

1. Makes "being an illegal alien" a felony, punishable by LIFE IN PRISON
2. Deputizes "illegal alien bounty hunters" and pays $1000 per person incarcerated
3. Creates a "labor board"

Absolutely disgusting

The Activation of Anti-Asian Attitudes on Vote Choice - Political Behavior Political science research has assessed how racial attitudes influence political behavior. However, less is known about the political effects of anti-Asian views, even as anti-Asian sentiment resurfac...

💡NEW PUB ALERT💡Nathan Chan and I just published our paper about the political effects of anti-Asian views! Anti-Asian views held in 2016 actually increased the chances of someone switching from a Dem vote in '16 to a GOP vote in '20.

Good luck Georgia…

Division Chair(s): Alex Coppock, Yale University The Experimental Research division welcomes submissions on a wide range of topics related to the use of experimental research across the fields of comparative politics, international relations, American politics, political theory, and research methods. We invite theoretical, methodological, or empirical proposals covering diverse experimental methods, including survey, laboratory, and field experiments. We take an expansive view of what constitutes an experiment but insist upon researcher control of treatment assignment, thus excluding observational studies sometimes described as natural or quasi-experiments. We encourage submissions that build upon the annual conference theme, “Reimagining Politics, Power, and Peoplehood in Crisis Times.” Research on this theme and other relevant topics is welcome. We encourage the submission of cohesive panel proposals. We are particularly interested in panels that: (a) describe the generalizability of experimental results; (b) investigate the homogeneity or heterogeneity of treatment effects; (c) estimate the over-time persistence of effects; (d) replicate and extend the core findings of an experimental research literature. APSA offers various presentation formats, and we welcome proposals that take advantage of these options. In line with APSA’s objectives of improving diversity, inclusion, and access throughout the profession, we encourage diversity of approach and interdisciplinarity from a wide-ranging group of researchers.

Submission Deadline Extended: 2025 APSA Annual Meeting Call for Proposals Now Due January 20th Submit Your 2025 APSA Proposals now by January 20th. The American Political Science Association invites proposals for the 121st APSA Annual Meeting & Exhibition, September 11–14, 2025, held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to address the latest scholarship in political science.

I'm organizing the APSA panels for the experiments section. Please submit your experimental papers* to our section first!

Deadline extended to January 20.

MY FIRST PUBLICATION JUST GOT OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED!!!!

I argue that Latino voters and especially independents are often persuaded by campaign appeals on economic topics (e.g., jobs, healthcare, education)

Thank you to @PolBehavior and I’m excited to share the final proof soon!

For those at #SPSA25, I’m excited to present my next paper with @blfraga and Colin Fisk on Latino Party ID from 1989-2022!
