Broadly, I am interested in research related to public opinion in the U.S. and cross-culturally, political identities, political behavior, election polling, misinformation interventions, as well as any and all things involving survey methods and measurement. My dissertation 1) examines observational trends in the American public's trust in public opinion polls, finding evidence of recent partisan cleavages, 2) documents rates of partisan participation in a decade of survey panel data from Pew's American Trends Panel (ATP), and 3) investigates the efficacy of employing AI as a supplement to traditional corrections on both beliefs and attitudes related to the accuracy and integrity of American elections.
