Estimates of Reported Prejudice and Perceptions of Electability

During the 2020 presidential primary, I examined Americans' perceptions of Democrats and Republicans' stated willingness to vote for candidates from different groups. I also examined how these perceptions impacted Americans' beliefs about which presidential candidates are electable.

These visualizations are taken from the following paper, which summarizes the results of this project:
Mercier, B., Celniker, J., Shariff, A. F. (2022). Overestimating Explicit Prejudice Causes Democrats to Believe Disadvantaged Groups are Less Electable. Political Psychology. 44(1), 95-117.
