Negative Partisanship and Its Impact on Voter Turnout

Quick fact

In recent U.S. elections, negative partisanship has become so strong that more voters report voting primarily to stop the other party than to support their own—a shift that can boost overall turnout but also fuel political anger and gridlock.

Why this is interesting

You’ve probably heard someone say they voted 'against' a candidate rather than 'for' another. What if that negative feeling is what actually gets people to the polls?
