About this table

Description699 US Prolific respondents (sample 1, US Prolific, party not shown) compared 6 pairs of hypothetical politicians described by randomized statements (people-centrism, anti-elitism, filler); four forced choices (which politician is more likely to say politicians should listen to the people / the political class is crooked / immigration should be reduced / is conservative) and four 1-5 ratings of each politician.
