Seeing this posted everywhere, but isn't this obviously a bad use of data? Like, you have a bunch of questions asking a highly polarized public whether things are good currently on a variety of indicators. Surely the divorce from reality runs in the opposite direction once the administration flips, at least to some extent, no?

Or, likewise, suppose these were questions like "Inflation was been much worse under the current administration than the last," I bet most of the Republicans would get it right, whether or not they had familiarity with the data.

@ZachWeinersmith These questions are the exact questions at the heart of Trump's campaign: inflation, crime, the border, and the economy. And Republicans believe the lies he's been telling for a year.

To try to "both sides" this, you'd have to find a Democratic campaign that lied about all its core issues flagrantly, consistently, and in the face of all fact-checking. We can't run that test because Democrats do not do that.

Stop both-sidesing Republican hate and ignorance please! Thank you!
