21st Century America Project
For years the team at NDN/NPI has been a leader in helping policymakers better understand the changing demographics of the United States. We are excited to announce that we are bringing our demographic and public opinion research together under a single banner: The 21st Century America Project. The project will feature work by Morley Winograd and Mike Hais, NDN/NPI Fellows, authors of the critically acclaimed book Millenial Makeover; Alicia Menendez, our new Senior Advisor, who has extensive experience working in these emergent communities; and other NDN/NPI Fellows and collaborators.
Below, please find some of the highlights of our past work on 21st Century America:

Recent Work
This poll and corresponding presentation is the second installment of an in-depth look at how America's population is changing, and how the two political parties are responding to these changes.
Much is written about Latinos, America's fastest growing minority. But surprisingly little has been written about Millennial Latinos, part of the largest and most diverse generation in American history.
In his bi-weekly Data Matters column, Mike Hais admonishes those who expect a catastrophic loss for Democrats this November, and analyzes polling data to argue that a massive Republican wave might never come.
Looking at the gap between young and old in their support for immigration reform, Alicia asks if there we might find the right message to explain why it's so important to fix our broken immigration system.
In their monthly column on America's changing demographics, NDN Fellows Morley Winograd and Mike Hais look at the abiding desire to live in the suburbs among Democrats' major constituent groups.
Alicia appeared on Fox News yesterday discussing Arizona's Immigration law, and what it could mean for the rest of the country. Watch this clip below if you missed it.
