  • Summary

  • Seeking common ground and reaching out to the other side may play a greater role in next year's election than in previous years. During a recent visit to Washington, Common Ground Committee co-founders Bruce Bond and Erik Olsen noted increased interest in the Common Ground Scorecard among Members of Congress and their staff. "There's definitely from a polarization perspective more interest in getting away from that in the upcoming election," said Bruce Bond in this episode. Erik Olsen says that during meetings with Members of Congress, "they are very interested in representing themselves as bipartisan." We also focus on findings of a recent survey that found two-thirds of voters said they would be considering the degree to which a candidate worked with members of the other party as a factor in their voting decisions. Separate research conducted for the anti-polarization movement Starts With Us, is also discussed. A recent study found that seven Members of Congress with the lowest numbers on the Scorecard received much more news media coverage than those with the highest scores.
