Lynn Vavreck Biography

Lynn Vavreck holds the Marvin Hoffenberg Chair in American Politics and Public Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles, and serves as a contributing columnist to The New York Times. Vavreck is recognized for her expertise in presidential campaigns, elections, and public opinion, with research focusing on how candidate behavior influences voters. Her work encompasses campaign advertising, survey methodology, political communication, media and politics, and the impact of economic conditions on elections.

Vavreck is a recipient of the Andrew F. Carnegie Award in the Humanities and Social Sciences and the author of six books on campaigns and elections, including "The Bitter End: The 2020 Presidential Election & the Challenge to American Democracy." Her book "Identity Crisis" was named the most ominous book of 2018 by Washington Post Book Review, and her 2012 election book has been described as the definitive account of that election. Her analysis of political messaging in "The Message Matters" is widely referenced by political consultants.

Vavreck has contributed to the study of political campaigns by developing models that utilize methodological advances to analyze political communication and public opinion. Her use of Internet polling to conduct real-time political science research has influenced how campaigns are studied. She has led multiple national surveys, including the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape Project, which completed 500,000 interviews.

Vavreck is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a winner of the Andrew F. Carnegie Prize in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Her research has received support from the National Science Foundation, and she has served on the advisory boards of both the British and American National Election Studies. Vavreck is also the co-founder of the Cooperative Campaign Analysis Project. She holds a doctorate in political science from the University of Rochester and has held academic appointments at Princeton University and Dartmouth College, as well as a position at The White House. Vavreck is known for her data-driven scholarship and public commentary in the field of American political science.
