About this table

DescriptionJapanese online respondents (n = 1,504) saw 3 pairs of hypothetical candidates described by agree/neither/disagree positions on 8 policy issues and, depending on a randomized label arm, picked the more right-wing or the more left-wing candidate and placed each on a 1-10 left-right scale.
