Guests: Perry Bacon Jr.

American’s political affiliations are generally a good indicator of how people vote but more and more they define identity and how much a person hates the other party. According to a recent study, Republicans and Democrats are flat out wrong when describing members of the other party in terms of race, religion, and income level, among other factors. PERRY BACON Jr., from of FiveThirtyEight, tells us why these misconceptions matter, why people choose one party over another, and what these misconceptions say about the modern political landscape.
