But when given opportunities to talk to voters, they often share details about their personal lives instead.

Key Points:

But when given opportunities to talk to voters, they often share details about their personal lives instead.
Presidential candidate Tim Scott used a September 2023 appearance on Fox News to talk about his dating life, saying that voters would soon meet his girlfriend.
One study of campaign tweets found that congressional candidates in 2012 were more likely to tweet about their personal lives than their policy platforms.

‘House of Cards’ to hot sauce

I was interested in whether these kinds of autobiographical and apolitical details changed how people evaluate elected officials.
I then shared these details with a nationally representative sample of 1,000 Americans in a survey conducted just before the 2020 election.
I found that those who read autobiographical details gave warmer evaluations of the politicians than those who did not learn these facts.
People offer positive ratings of politicians who share their partisan loyalties and very negative ratings of those from the opposing party.

What this means for politics

For elected officials who want to boost their support among supporters of rival partisans, shifting the focus to personality rather than partisan politics can be a useful strategy.
I think that this approach could also help depolarize politics.
In a time of deeply partisan politics, it is useful to find ways to interrupt partisan biases and decrease polarization.
