just going to belatedly throw out that it would be fascinating* to split sample these, do half as a forced choice and half with the "no preference" option, and use the results for a presentation on strength of opinion

My immediate hypothesis here was: "RFK does better when lower-info voters are prompted to select a choice rather than a Don't Know option" and...yeah

(a truly surprising amount of disparity in polls can be explained by "how are they handling DKs"

Shame on BU's School of Public Health.
"Never ever did I think my access needs would be used to have me modify my remarks which would never happen at a live event unless they cut off my microphone or pulled me off the stage."
A new piece by me for about my adventures in public speaking and my rage against ableism and Boston University’s School of Public Health. Enjoy!

For anyone teaching European politics or parties, check out chesdata.shinyapps.io/Shiny-CHES/, which allows you to create quick bar graphs & scatterplots showing party positions.

I have already used it a few times to talk about Euroskepticism, social left-right & green politics.

Here's an example.

things I like about Rosh Hashanah:
-apples
-honey
-challah
-early fall weather
-you get to kick off the new year with a formal 10-day grace period to worry about all your life choices, which is what I'd be doing in any case
