We’re researchers from Pew Research Center studying American politics. We’ll be here June 23 (10am-2pm ET) to answer your questions about our new political typology which groups Americans into nine political groups based on their values. Ask us anything!

Hi r/politics, We’re researchers from Pew Research Center who study American politics. We recently released the newest edition of our political typology, which looks at how Americans group together based on their underlying beliefs and values, not their party ID. Our first typology was published in 1987. You can read about the history of the project here. Instead of a simple red-blue divide, the typology captures nine distinct groups across the political spectrum to better reflect how Americans actually think about politics. Many Americans hold a complex mix of values and beliefs – ones that don’t always fit neatly into either party. Some of the typology groups will feel familiar. Some might surprise you. We’ll be here Tuesday, June 23 from 10am to 2pm ET to answer your questions about: How the typology works What’s new in this edition What it tells us about polarization, party coalitions and the political middle How different typology groups think about political issues We’re posting a few days early to invite your questions in advance, and we’ll start responding when we go live on June 23 at 10am ET.
