"Seeing the dominant narrative coming out of the debate, Lazer and the team at CHIP50 decided to test the hypothesis that Biden had lost ground in public opinion after the debate."

Just out! CHIP50.org report looking at who uses TikTok, given its imminent (possible) demise. The TLDR: it's disproportionately younger people, persons of color, women. But the rise of TikTok also tells us a lot about the relative stasis of the social media economy.

I was looking at the CHIP50 data. Among young Hispanic men age 21-30, Trump's net job approval is down a staggering 40.4 points since January. That's a much bigger drop than among Black men (down 16.5 points) or white men (down 12.2 points) in the same age group.

Just posted my evaluation of what happened in the 2024 election, based on CHIP50 data. The TLDR is that the 2020 to 2024 shift was mostly a backlash of younger individuals against what had been a pretty lousy 4 years for them.

A reminder of what Americans support via #CHIP50:

84% say we should invest the *same or more funding* for science research next year

90% say we should invest the *same or more funding* for medical research next year

Some predictions from CHIP50 demographic prediction tool:
www.chip50.org/blog/demogra...
1) The partisan split with respect to education will continue to grow larger. (College & more on left, HS & less on right)

Support for maintaining or increasing research support remains largely bipartisan. Which raises the question: what exactly is the WH and Congress doing here?

FYI, an evaluation of CHIP50's performance relative to 2024 electoral outcomes

(TLDR is that we did well in terms of demographic trends, but not so much predictively, which really requires incorporating turnout/etc)

In our CHIP50 pre-election survey, the Dem margin among 30 and under dropped 20 pts from 2020; & among those older than 30, improved by 3 points. The national shift reflected the massive drop in youth support everywhere.

Looking at all of the major platforms, & at what percent of the 30 and younger cohort uses that platform, these are the platforms that grown/shrunk over the last 4+ yrs of CHIP50 data collection:

Up: TikTok, Reddit, Threads
Down: Pinterest, Tumblr, YouTube
Level: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X

See CHIP50 updated trends in social media dashboard. www.chip50.org/social-media...

A tidbit: what are the recent trends w/ younger cohort, who are leading indicators of change?

-> There has been remarkable stability in usage the last 2 yrs, with only 1 platform that has significantly changed.
