Over the weekend, The Atlantic writer Derek Thompson posted a tweet in which he noted how “more than half of Republicans say they have a Democratic friend” while “less than a third of Democrats say they have a Republican friend.” The tweet, which also referenced a chart but which has since been deleted for some reason, can be seen here in archived form.
Thompson appeared to be referencing an American Enterprise Institute study done in May that found that “Just over half of Republicans, 53 percent, said they have at least some friends who are Democrats… while about a third of Democrats (32 percent) said they have at least some Republican friends.” It lines up with many other studies done in recent years on the political makeup of friendships.
