About Me
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at Duke University in 2009 and served as a RWJ Scholar in Health Policy Research at the University of Michigan from 2009-2011. Previously, I co-edited Spinsanity, a non-partisan watchdog of political spin, and co-authored All the President's Spin. My posts here are also frequently cross-posted at HuffPost Pollster and Washington Monthly's Ten Miles Square blog. I also tweet at @BrendanNyhan and serve as New Hampshire campaign correspondent for Columbia Journalism Review. For more, see my bio or academic website.
