Elections

The American public and its elected representatives often seem paralyzed by ideological polarization and legislative gridlock. One of the great conundrums of the era remains how, in effect, to de-polarize the electorate. At the individual level, what techniques might best work to moderate positions?

Here we roundup some useful studies, reports and research briefs that might shed light on relevant themes in the run-up to the November 2016 election.
