Consider, for example, that the most moderate 25% of Democratic primary voters are closer ideologically to about half of all Republicans than they are to the most liberal 25% of Democratic primary voters.

This plot shows primary voters, partisans who aren't primary voters, and true Independents on an ideological scale based on their positions on 36 issue questions from the 2016 CCES. Key point: primary voters are actually quite ideologically diverse...pic.twitter.com/zBg4SvR0Re

I engaged in the above exercise largely because I think it's useful to remind ourselves every once in a while that our social media feeds are a special subset of who will actually be voting next year...pic.twitter.com/RJT5WOLXti

Was there an attempt to graph this with the social/economic Qs split out from each other? A 2-axis graph generally better represents the modern political breakdown of the parties.

Minor binning question: how are caucus-state partisans treated here?
-
What I did was was categorize someone as a primary voter if they were validated as having voted in a presidential primary or in a congressional primary in 2016. Even caucus states have primaries for other offices, so that was my imperfect attempt to capture those folks.
