Practical information
The Ifri Program on North America held a seminar around Jocelyn Kiley, Associate Director for Policy Research, Pew Research Center (see her bio on the Pew website).
Jocelyn Kiley relied on the opinion polls conducted by the renowned Pew Research Center -the last poll was conducted in February of 2017- to present a picture of the political polarization in today's America. If the phenomenon has increased sharply during the 2016 campaign accross all issues and themes, its first signs can be traced back to the 1990's. The meeting was an opportunity for journalists, pollsters, officials and think-tankers to discuss the issues at stake.
Chair: Dr. Laurence Nardon, responsable du programme Amérique du Nord, Ifri
