I expected a change in either direction, I'm surprised by no change. Or was their change in different ppl and they cancelled each other out?

The same people who were polled the first time, should be polled the second time. It’s hard to draw a correlation if that is not the case.

Opinion polls that measure political change across time very often don't ask the same people

Hmm maybe what you're intuiting is a divergence from neutrality on both sides. I wonder if you would've found more polarization if you'd had 4 ordered options each time (SUPPORT!, support, don't, DON'T!).

The question is entirely a proxy for <do you like progressive politics>, and that is sticky enough that it hasn't changed much among your followers.

This seems to be a reflection of how polarized we currently are. Very had to change people’s minds on anything.

It could also have been a larger dataset and margin of error on the two surveys.

I mean, an exact canceling out would be even more interesting.
Is there some sort of conservation law of support for a movement like this one?
