Political Polarization And The "Exhausted Majority"

A new study of societal polarization identifies seven distinct political groups, most of whom would like to find common ground, but are turned off by the extremes on the right and left.  The report suggests ways to reach these dis-engaged Americans, to the benefit of our civic life.

GUEST:

  • Dan Vallone - ?U.S. Director of More in Common, an international initiative to build stronger communities, which authored "The Hidden Tribes of America," a study to identify what drives political polarization in the United States.
