DLF Headline: Zahl der Asylanträge in D auf Rekordtief

Umfrage FGW mit AfD auf erstem Platz

Vielleicht hat die Stärke der AfD ja gar nichts mit der Zahl der Geflüchteten zu tun? Vielleicht war es falsch zu versuchen AfD Wähler:innen mit immer restriktiveren Maßnahmen zurückzugewinnen? Vielleicht hat man so die AfD normalisiert und ihr zu einer neuen Kernwählerschaft verholfen? Vielleicht.

Useful indeed.
Would you agree that "the data need a reasonable degree of structure, consistency, and documentation" is a fair (or FAIR?) summary of the checklist?

The Next Coup Attempt And How to Stop It

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.

Make it Equal: Social science research for inclusion and equal opportunities in Europe | Infra4NextGen The event will focus on how social science research can support policies that reduce inequalities, promote social inclusion, and ensure equal opportunities.

A workshop on the Make it Equal theme of the Infra4NextGen project will take place from 9am-4pm (CET) on Tuesday 14 April.

The event will focus on how social science #research can support policies that reduce #inequalities, promote social inclusion, and ensure equal opportunities.

Update: Today, opt-in online pollster YouGov revealed that bogus respondents biased their 2024 religion survey. Based on this survey, Bible Society's 2025 The Quiet Revival report claimed a massive surge of churchgoing in England and Wales. The report has now been retracted.

Results from the Danish general election 2026

'Hey, look at #Denmark! Social Democrats can stay relevant and marginalise the #farright by becoming - get this! - a bit like the far right!' Parrotted by every medium, contemplated by every SD party, ridiculed by every political scientist.

Und genau das ist es, was die Ex-Verlage charakterisiert, die Umkehr des Datenflusses:

"die Daten fließen nur in eine Richtung, nämlich von der Wissenschaft zu Elsevier."

Als diese Überwachungskonzerne noch Verlage waren, war das noch die andere Richtung.

Surveys based on random samples & Catholic/Church of England data show churchgoing in Britain hasn't returned to pre-pandemic levels.

Opt-in online survey data suggests "churchgoing is soaring" 50% higher than it was in 2018.

Another opt-in online survey won't resolve this conflict.

Solidarity with Anna Posbergh and all other colleagues who have to work in these absolutely Orwellian circumstances.

Online opt-in surveys also find recent religious resurgence among U.S. young adults While this analysis focuses on claims of religious revival among young adults in the U.K., some opt-in surveys have pointed to a similar trend in the United States. Barna Group, a research organization serving Christian leaders, has used online opt-in survey data to make claims of rising churchgoing among young adults in the U.S. According to Barna, “Since 2019, both Gen Z and Millennials were the least likely generation to frequently attend church. Today, they are the most engaged.” However, surveys from Pew Research Center using random samples show no clear evidence of a religious revival among young adults. Nor is there clear evidence of religious revival in two other surveys based on random samples conducted by other organizations: the General Social Survey and the American Time Use Survey.

Is there a revival of churchgoing among US young adults? According to
Opt-in online polls: Yes
Surveys using random samples of the population: No
