Is the Ideology Gap Growing?

This isn’t at all surprising. We’ve basically abandoned the societal shared vision of prosperity and building for future generations.<p>There are no more heroes, no more examples that drive our aspirations. We’re a mess of silos, struggles, and reactionary movements.<p>I admire those of us that are trying to hold the middle for sanity and stability but things don’t seem like they’re moderating any time soon.

tl;dr the FT&#x2F;HN reported data may have flaws; based on a slightly different data set TFA finds:<p>- Since the 1990s, both men and women have become more likely to identify as liberal.<p>- Women are more likely to identify as liberal by 5-10 percentage points.<p>- There is no evidence that the ideology gap is growing.<p>(in particular for the last point, TFA points out the wide error bands resulting from noisy data)
