Maybe I missed it, but is there any evidence this wasn't just "I haven't heard of that one, so I don't have a Favorable opinion"? The 20% Unfavorable was commensurate with the other candidates (except for Trump, who had a 40% Unfavorable rating. :-P)

They poll for Favorable, Unfavorable, Unsure.

For Rick Snyder, the actual candidate, it was 5/11/84.

For Paul Egan, the reporter whose name they stuck in there as a control, it was 6/7/86.

When they stuck Emily Farris' name in there, it was 3/20/77.

Ah, OK. I was misreading it then.

Me, too!

I bet they've discovered another way to measure implicit sexism.

I now really wonder if the amount of implicit sexism differs by political organization, too. Oo, and I wonder if implicit sexism differs by gender. I bet it doesn't--I bet women are just as implicitly sexist as men--though that's certainly a testable hypothesis. Implicit racism goes by race. I wonder if sexism does?

Actually, this looks awfully similar to the same old way.

I thought that had already been checked, and yes, but I don't have a ref to hand.

ETA, not exactly what you asked but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_stereotype#Gender_stereotypes
ETA2: Haven't read this yet, and its conclusions aren't immediately obvious. Also, English is not the author's first language. If you read it first, report back, okay?
