Fig 2

Issue self-placement.

Full response data for ideological self-placement on each “major issue,” plotted against each respondent’s general ideology. Black trend curves are Gaussian-weighted moving average (). Issues are ordered by decreasing polarization (far-left/far-right mean difference). Dots colored by respondent party affiliation, with additional hue variation to aid distinguishing despite dot transparency.
