Women will be a driving force in the epic elections in 2024 for president and congress. Anna Greenberg, one of the premier political consultants in the country, joins Professor Kathryn Pearson to pinpoint the critical issues and dynamics at play. Anna Greenberg has worked on numerous prominent Democratic campaigns including those of Minnesota Senators Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar. She won the “Pollster of the Year” award from the American Association of Political Consultants and has served on the boards of two premier survey research organizations - the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research and the American National Election Study. Greenberg received a BA in Government from Cornell University and Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Chicago.
En una de las principales potencias del mundo, todavía la situación de las mujeres sigue siendo desventajosa cuando se le compara con la de los hombres. En Estados Unidos, las mujeres, en promedio, ganan $ .82 centavos por cada dólar pagado a los hombres. Para una mujer que trabaja a tiempo completo durante todo el año, esa es una brecha de más de 10 mil dólares anuales. Esta brecha suma, en promedio, más de 400 mil dólares a lo largo de una carrera de cuarenta años.Así que a pesar de los muy variados logros de las mujeres en la sociedad estadounidense todavía hay mucho que hacer. Basándose en datos del Pew Research Center, de la American National Election Study, y de la oficina del Censo, confirman que “desde 1984 las mujeres han votado en tasas ligeramente más altas que los hombres y que cada vez más una mayor proporción de mujeres que de hombres son demócratas, aunque no siempre fue así”. ¿Será por eso el coqueteo de los candidatos con ese importante target del electorado?¿Qué ha hecho el Presidente Donald Trump en estos últimos 4 años? ¿qué tan clave podrá ser la figura de Kamala Harris entre las mujeres votantes y las más jóvenes?César Miguel Rondón aborda el tema junto a Willie Lora, @LoraWMedia periodista y analista político, especialista en política estadounidense; Cindy Polo, miembro de la Cámara de Representantes de Florida por el partido Demócrata; María Herrera, vicepresidenta de la Asamblea Hispana del Partido Republicano en Miami. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sincodigo/message

AMS Climate Change Video - Environmental Science Seminar Series (ESSS)
According to a February, 18, 2007, press release describing a survey on public perceptions of global warming, a majority of Americans agreed with most scientists that the Earth is getting warmer, but were divided over the seriousness of the problem, predicated on a belief that scientists themselves disagreed about global warming. What, if any, was the role of the news media in fueling that perception? Is that perception still prevalent? And where does the public stand today regarding amelioration strategies? Do people support the policy solutions that are most favored by the Presidential candidates? Is there a relation between what people know about global warming and how concerned they are about it? Is there a divide between Republicans and Democrats on these matters? If so, how might one explain these differences in perceptions about global warming? Program Summary With both major Presidential candidates endorsing cap and trade programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and Congress increasingly devoting effort to climate change legislation, the American public's views of these matters will become more important in the coming months. Yet survey evidence suggests that cap-and-trade is one of the public's least favorite ways to reduce emissions. Our speaker today, Professor Jon Krosnick, has conducted a new national survey to explore the reasons for this reluctance. Different respondents were randomly assigned to receive different descriptions of cap-and-trade, to see whether some framings increased the policy's appeal. The results identify communication strategies that were and were not successful and thereby point to reasons for the public's reluctance. The survey also experimentally tested the hypothesis that "balanced" news media coverage of climate change has caused the majority of Americans to believe that there is no consensus among scientific experts about the existence of climate change. The survey's evidence highlights unintended consequences of "optimal" journalism and the power of the press. Biography For 25 years, Dr. Jon A. Krosnick has conducted research exploring how the American public's political attitudes are formed, change, and shape thinking and action. He is co-principal investigator of the American National Election Study, the nation's preeminent academic project exploring voter decision-making and political campaign effects. A world-renowned expert on questionnaire design and survey research methodology, he has conducted survey studies of Americans' attitudes on environmental issues in collaboration with ABC News, the Washington Post, Time magazine, and New Scientist magazine. Dr. Krosnick has authored six books and more than 120 peer-reviewed scientific articles. His books include the Handbook of Questionnaire Design (forthcoming), Attitude Strength, Thinking about Politics, and Introduction to Survey Research, Polling, and Data Analysis. Dr. Krosnick teaches courses on survey methodology around the world at universities, for corporations, and for government agencies, testifies regularly as an expert witness in courts in the U.S. and abroad, and has served as an on-air election-night television commentator and exit poll data analyst. Dr. Krosnick earned an A.B. degree in Psychology (Magna Cum Laude) from Harvard University in 1980; an M.A. degree in Social Psychology (with Honors) from the University of Michigan in 1983, and a Ph.D. in Social Psychology from University of Michigan in 1986.
