The Washington correspondent of Montreal's La Presse came up to Maine recently and we spoke about the #AmericanNations and their effect on U.S. politics. The resulting feature posted today (en français, bien sûr):

De l’Arizona au Vermont en passant par le Montana, Yves Boisvert a visité pas moins de 20 États américains au cours des six derniers mois. À quelques semaines de l’élection présidentielle, notre chroniqueur revient sur ce qui unit – et désunit – cet incontournable voisin.
New from Nationhood Lab: in a national poll, we included a panel of Qs from academic political pscyh measuring 3 components of Right Wing Authoritarianism. Found large - & sometimes unexpectedly complex - differences between the #AmericanNations regions.
Got a rare chance to do a robust national poll of a presidential race by #AmericanNations culture regions. Trump's weakened in G.

US voting rates & health outcomes are correlated and interrelated, we note in The Lancet Regional Health-Americas, & messaging interventions to boost either need to incorporate the #AmericanNations. Latest from Pell Center's Nationhood Lab:
Alex DanversGreat piece.
“Your health is only 10 percent influenced by the medical environment and maybe 20 or 30 percent in behavioral choices. The social and political determinants of health are overwhelmingly what you’re seeing in these maps.”
"If you compare the poorest category of counties in (completely urbanized) New Netherland to the richest ones in Deep South, the former has a 0.4-year advantage in life expectancy."
