Bottom line: identity politics varies a lot by awareness.

Linking your social group to policy requires some knowledge/interest in politics.

So it’s the *most*, not least, aware who are most likely to hold identity-consistent views.

Interestingly: no real effects for Asian or Hispanic Americans (unlike Black Americans).

Elite cues paint these as groups aligned with Democrats/liberals, but only tiny differences between least- and most-aware.

But not everyone is paying attention to politics, or knows “what goes with what”.

Connecting identity to policy views requires political awareness, which varies *a lot*.

As a result: awareness moderates the identity-to-politics link.
- More aware voters hold more group-consistent views
- Gaps between groups widen with awareness

To start: different social groups often have different political beliefs.
- Black Americans more Democratic than White Americans;
- Evangelicals more conservative than Jewish voters;
- LGBTQ people more liberal than straight people;

“Political awareness and the identity-to-politics link in public opinion"

Awareness strengthens the link btwn social identities and political views: as awareness increases, so do the opinion gaps between groups.

“This is a powerful message, saying, ‘Hey, LGBTQ candidates can win elections and can win elections in many states and districts across the country.’” Magni said.

“All of the concerns that we hear about electability are not really based in reality.”

With the [large] caveat that we'll have to wait for final vote tallies to really know how things line up, I think that some of the backlash we're seeing about polls - even though they were broadly right! - deals with a failure to distinguish between good and less good polls.
