Alexander Theodoridis Interviewed on Party Polarization

Alexander Theodoridis, Associate Professor of Political Science at UMass Amherst and Associate Director of the UMass Poll, was recently interviewed on the topic of party polarization, in relation to an April 2021 UMass Amherst/WCVB poll found which found that two-thirds of both partisan Democrats and partisan Republicans believe that many members of the other party are “downright evil.”  Theodoridis said that “we have seen partisanship become aligned with all sorts of different other identities.” (WCVB-TV Boston, 6/8/21; News Office assistance)
