“…First, the sample size in 2004 was substantially smaller than in other years and the 2004 survey was the last to be conducted using face‐to‐face interviewer modality alone; later, waves involved mixed methodologies of interviewer‐conducted and respondent‐completed (2008), as well as online (2012 and 2016). The change in methodology may have reduced social desirability bias in responses to racial resentment items (cf., Kinder and Chudy 2016). Second, our measure of sexism differs across models because the ANES included different items across years (see Appendix S1).…”

Racial Resentment or Sexism? White Americans’ Outgroup Attitudes as Predictors of Gun Ownership and NRA Membership

Gun ownership is a key predictor of gun policy preferences, political advocacy on behalf of gun rights, and political engagement. Theories have linked both racial and gender ideologies to gun ownership among white Americans, but the evidence is spotty. Statistical analyses provide some limited confirmation that racial resentment is a key predictor of gun ownership, but the role of sexism has not been tested quantitatively especially in conjunction with racial resentment. We use the 2004–2016 ANES and a 2015 Gun Survey to statistically test the relative importance of racial resentment and sexism in predicting gun ownership, rationales for owning firearms, and NRA membership among whites. We find strong evidence that racial resentment is associated with gun ownership, rationales for owning firearms, and NRA membership, but the results for sexism are generally not consistent with expectations.

“…Likewise, Sears, Citrin, and Kosterman (1987) showed that Jesse Jackson's 1984 campaign for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination immediately accelerated the polarization of Southerner party identification by both racial attitudes and race. And, most importantly for our purposes, Barack Obama's presidency made both race and racial attitudes stronger determinants of several different political evaluations, including vote choice for congress and party identification (Belcher 2016;Hajnal and Lee 2011;Kinder and Chudy 2016;Luttig 2017;Tesler 2013Tesler , 2016.…”

President Obama and the Emergence of Islamophobia in Mass Partisan Preferences

This article argues that the unusually large and persistent association between Islamophobia and opposition to President Obama helped make attitudes about Muslims a significant, independent predictor of Americans’ broader partisan preferences. After detailing the theoretical basis for this argument, the article marshals repeated cross-sectional data, two panel surveys, and a nationally representative survey experiment, to test its hypotheses. The results from those analyses show the following: (1) attitudes about Muslims were a significantly stronger independent predictor of voter preferences for congress in 2010–2014 elections than they were in 2004–2008; (2) attitudes about Muslims were a significantly stronger independent predictor of mass partisanship during Obama’s presidency than they were beforehand; and (3) experimentally connecting Obama to Democratic congressional candidates significantly increased the relationship between anti-Muslim sentiments and Americans’ preferences for Republican congressional candidates. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of these results for American politics in the Trump era.

“…1 See Parker (2016) for a comprehensive review and DellaVigna (2010) for an economic analysis. Empirical studies find results in both directions, depending on sample and methodology (for example, Goldman and Mutz (2014); Kinder and Chudy (2016); Tesler and Sears (2010); Tesler (2016)).…”

Identifying Taste-Based Discrimination: Effect of Black Electoral Victories on Racial Prejudice and Economic Gaps

I test for the causal impact of Black electoral victories in local elections on White Americans' attitude toward Black Americans. Using Race Implicit Attitude Test scores as a measure of racial prejudice and close-election regression-discontinuity design for causal inference, I find Black electoral victories cause measures of racial bias to rise, by 4% of the average Black-White difference in IAT scores. Simultaneously, they widen racial gaps in unemployment and mortgage denials. Interpreting these close electoral victories as instrumental variables, I find a large causal effect of prejudice-based racial discrimination on Black-White economic gaps.
