Today, we talk with Christopher Hare, Professor of Political Science at UC Davis, whose research uses statistical modeling to understand voting behavior, public opinion, and political campaigns.

In this episode, we cover everything from the challenges in political polling to how the decline in diverse social networks is deepening political divides in the U.S. Professor Hare also shares insights on Senate voting patterns, tracing the roots of political division back to the mid-1960s.

We conclude with Professor Hare's thoughts on the power of statistical methods for political science and the importance of statistical literacy for anyone looking to understand electoral dynamics.
