ANN ARBOR — Partisan politics in the United States are nothing new, but the way in which the two major American political parties are hostile to one another could have serious consequences.
What do those consequences look like? And how do they play out in the lives of everyday Americans? Yanna Krupnikov and John Barry Ryan, both of the Institute for Social Research’s Center for Political Studies, have investigated those questions deeply. In October 2024 — less than two weeks before the presidential election — they presented some of their findings on that subject as a part of ISR’s Insights Speaker Series. An excerpt from that talk makes up the latest episode of The Abstract, available here.
