I think we have to start thinking of independents not as intensely informed “enlightened centrists” but rather the people that truly have no idea what is going on in politics. People with no point of view because they are genuinely unaware what is even happening. The people that responded “unaware” to an awareness survey of Donald Trump.

It’s wild that they’re doing surveys asking people to rate racial groups on a scale of 1-100. Psychologists stopped asking questions this directly decades ago because of social desirability in answers. I’d think everyone would rate all the racial groups the same because we’re not supposed to think a race is better than any other, but that’s not happening because the patterns fit the stereotypes of dems/cons.

Sorry, but I don’t know how to interpret the data.
The link gives example questions about ‘how do you feel about an individual’, but how does that relate to the charts?
Is the lower axis 12 months?
It’s not beautiful because I can’t interpret it.

FWIW the spikes at on Independent “0” values occur on almost every single graph which is indicative of bad underlying data
