Note(s):

Table shows Pearson’s product moment correlations between polarization (actual-placebo) and various other societal and political variables. In the correlations shown in column (4), NAs in time series have been interpolated using na.interpolation function in R. Results using linear regression are available in the Online Appendix Table E4
