Thank you!
Right, the numbers hold steady. It’s only the uncertainty that is declining. The most likely scenario is a Yes-vote share around 55%.
I do not have a prediction apart from the one of the market. It has historically shown to be pretty precise and easily outperforms my own intuitions.

Nach den letzten Umfragen ist klar, dass die #eID höchstwahrscheinlich angenommen wird. Irgendwo zwischen 50% und 60% Ja-Stimmen dürften es sein. Genau so wie es mein Prognosemarkt schon vor Wochen vorhergesagt hat.
Die Live-Vorhersagen gibt es auf www.50plus1.ch

Es wird knapp beim #Eigenmietwert! Basierend auf den Rohdaten meines Prognosemarktes habe ich eine Punktschätzung berechnet. Und sie zielt recht genau auf 50%. Hier gehts zu den Live-Rohdaten: www.50plus1.ch

I'm hiring another postdoc (research-focused, for almost 5 years) for my @erc.europa.eu project on the educational cleavage!
I'm looking for someone with strong quantitative text-analysis skills (e.g. #NLP, #LLM, etc.) to study the role of political actors in cleavage formation.

Small paid opportunity for a PhD student:

I had a guest lecture fall through *next week* on a summer program I'm teaching and would love a mid-late stage PhD to talk about their work and grad study.

Any topic re European city politics and/or migration. Virtual is assumed, but in-person possible.

Why is there no right to vote for foreigners in most Swiss cantons? I was allowed to give my opinion on Swiss evening news. Spoiler: I think it is direct democracy + preference for citizenship rights only with naturalization.
