    2/n The CCES panel data also shows that the trend didn't begin in 2016, but rather some point between 2010-2012

    1/n Data from two separate panel surveys confirms a trend I reported previously with cross-sectional data: white liberals have become significantly more supportive of affirmative action

    20/n A separate panel survey reveals a similar pattern: i.e. white liberals (and here moderates) have become substantially more favorable towards illegal immigrants, while white conservatives have stood their ground.

    19/n As suggested below, it's possible that respondents were reacting (with some lag) to Obama's June 2012 rose garden DACA address

    18/n Onto more specific policy questions, we see an across-the-board positive shift in support for the naturalization of illegal immigrants, with the most dramatic change among white liberals (2012, 48%-->81%, 2018).
