American Family Survey 2018 Codebook ================================================================================ Project Code: BYUC0016 Project Name: American Family Survey 2018 Prepared for: Jeremy Pope and Chris Karpowitz Interviews: 3000 Field Period: August 03, 2018 - August 14, 2018 Project Manager: Sam Luks - 650.462.8009 ================================================================================ YouGov interviewed 3332 respondents who were then matched down to a sample of 3000 to produce the final dataset. The respondents were matched to a sampling frame on gender, age, race, and education. The frame was constructed by stratified sampling from the full 2016 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year sample with selection within strata by weighted sampling with replacements (using the person weights on the public use file). The matched cases were weighted to the sampling frame using propensity scores. The matched cases and the frame were combined and a logistic regression was estimated for inclusion in the frame. The propensity score function included age, gender, race/ethnicity, years of education, and region. The propensity scores were grouped into deciles of the estimated propensity score in the frame and post-stratified according to these deciles. The weights were then post-stratified on 2016 Presidential vote choice, and a four-way stratification of gender, age (4-categories), race (4- categories), and education (4-categories), to produce the final weight. ================================================================================ Variable List ================================================================================ caseid Case ID weight Gen Pop Weight app_dtrmp President Trump Job Approval pp_primary16 Primary Vote pp_demprim16 Democratic Primary pp_repprim16 Republican Primary pew_bornagain Born Again (Pew version) pew_religimp Importance of religion (Pew version) pew_churatd Church attendance (Pew version) pew_prayer Frequency of Prayer (Pew version) religpew Religion religpew_protestant Protestant Church s18_gnd001_treat GND001 split s18_met001_treat MET001 split s18_met002_treat MET002 split s18_met006_treat MET006 order s18_pol26_treat POL026a/CHD001 split sample s18_INT001 Consent birthyr Birth Year s18_MSC001 Marital status s18_MSC002 Relationship with your current spouse -

  • Mormonism As Meme in Government-Sponsored
    MORMONISM AS MEME IN GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED INFORMATION OPERATIONS ON TWITTER1 Spencer Greenhalgh2 ABSTRACT A general suspicion of Mormonism in American politics and media dates back to the 19th century and continues today. Weber (2019) has described Mormonism as a "meme" that is malleable enough to symbolize different things for different audiences in different contexts. In this study, I examine the presence of "Mormonism as meme" in 511 posts composed by government-sponsored Twitter accounts as part of information operations before, during, and after the 2016 U.S. presidential election. I retrieved these posts from a dataset of government-sponsored tweets made available by Twitter and used a mix of computational and human methods to determine: 1) which countries used Mormonism as meme, 2) whether government-sponsored accounts originated or amplified these messages, 3) what identities government-sponsored accounts adopted, and 4) how government-sponsored accounts used Mormonism as a meme. This study's results indicate that six governments invoked Mormonism as part of their information operations during this time frame. Venezuela pursued a strategy that depended on using pro-Trump accounts to repeatedly share messages describing Mormons as communitarian and insular. Other countries (including Russia and Iran) pursued more subtle strategies, more often retweeting others' posts than writing their own. However, they still invoked aspects of Mormonism that called into question its compatibility with liberal, conservative, or broadly American values. As a whole, these posts correspond with both Weber's (2019) description of Mormonism as malleable meme and information operations' twin purposes of influencing the 2016 election and dividing Americans.

Putting the “Fertility Gap” to the Test Billy Gage Raley A Thesis in the Field of Government for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University March 2021 Copyright © 2020 Billy Gage Raley Abstract During the 2004 election cycle, journalists discovered a correlation between state fertility rates and presidential election results. The media observed that states with high fertility rates tended to support Bush, and states with low fertility rates tended to support Gore and Kerry. This phenomenon came to be known as the “Fertility Gap.” After political pundits started discussing the Fertility Gap, a few scholars also picked up on the topic. To date, discussion of the Fertility Gap has been limited to elections between 2000 to 2012. A longitudinal study of the Fertility Gap has never been conducted.

  • GOP Senators Who Might Block Kleptocratic Trump Nominations
    Gabe Stein GOP Senators Who Might Block Kleptocratic Trump Nominations Gabriel Stein Published on: Nov 16, 2016 License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0) Gabe Stein GOP Senators Who Might Block Kleptocratic Trump Nominations Here’s your moment of terror for today, courtesy of Vox’s Matt Yglesias. 100 days to save the Republic The transition period is the last best hope to avoid the systemic corruption of American institutionswww.vox.com You can believe this argument, or not. But it is true that the independence of majority senators is one of the checks in our system, and that the first appointments are a battle worth fighting. And the good news is, Trump, and many of his potential nominees, are deeply unpopular in their own party. Using this Atlantic piece, I’ve compiled a list of GOP senators who either did not or only tepidly supported Trump during the election and who may be convinced to take a stand. Even though I don’t agree with many of these people, many of them are courageous, patriotic people of principle who will do what’s right…if we convince them. The problem is that everything will be lined up against GOP senators taking a stand. The GOP will consider it treason. Many of these senators’ own supporters (especially the ones in red states) who voted for Trump will be furious. In other words, it will fall to us to do the convincing by pressuring the heck out of them, largely with phone calls and letters. Truth be told, I’m a bit out of my depth here.
