Stanford Report

Urogdy’s results were among many findings from Democracy in the Balance: Polarization and the Road Ahead, a spring quarter course taught by Ashley Fabrizio, a Stanford alum and head of research at the nonpartisan think tank More in Common. Working with Fabrizio and her team, students created and conducted a nationally representative survey of 1,610 U.S. adults that oversampled Gen Z to provide a more granular look into their political attitudes and opinions.
