New study on the congruence between public opinion and policy in Europe

Featured study

This new paper by Anne Rasmussen, Simon Otjes in the Journal of Politics studies the magnitude and potential drivers of misperceptions by comparing actual public opinion on policy with estimations of public opinion by representatives at all government levels in Denmark and the Netherlands. Our results show misperceptions are widespread and associated with a tendency for representatives to project their own opinion onto the public. It is one of the largest studies on perceptions of public opinion to date, based on approximately 10,000 estimations by politicians.
