Glad to see this out at @ajpseditor.bsky.social! I show that the immigration-crime issue, when salient, can shift leftist cosmopolitans to the Right. This is due to leftist voters being more conservative on crime than leftist parties.

Meine Einschätzung zu den Erwartungen gegenüber Einbürgerungswilligen stützt sich auf die Allgemeine Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften und eine eigene Erhebung. #Einbürgerung #Staatsbürgerschaft

Die Abbildung zeigt, für wie bedeutsam Befragte einzelne Einbürgerungskriterien für den Erwerb der Staatsbürgerschaft erachten. Die Daten stammen aus drei Erhebungswellen (1996, 2006 und 2016) der Allgemeinen Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften für Deutschland (ALLBUS). Die Antwortskala reicht von (1) „Überhaupt nicht wichtig“ bis (7) „Sehr wichtig“. Die Hauptergebnisse werden im Hauptbeitrag beschrieben.
