• Figure 4.1. The Combined Effect of the Past and Future on Present-Day Policy Preferences This figure compares the present-day policy preferences of two groups of survey respondents. The first group agreed with the forecast and history lesson with which they were presented. The second group agreed with either the forecast or the history lesson (meaning they disagreed with one of these). The figure shows that those who agree with consistent assertions about the past and present are more likely to express congruent, present-day policy preferences.
