He is also a Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, where he is co-directing a joint Brookings-American Enterprise Institute project on political demography and geography, The Future of Red, Blue and Purple America. He is the author or co-author of five books, including The Emerging Democratic Majority, America’s Forgotten Majority: Why the White Working Class Still Matters and The Disappearing American Voter, as well as hundreds of articles, both scholarly and popular. He also writes the bi-monthly public opinion series, What the Public Really Wants, and the weekly feature, Public Opinion Snapshot, that are featured on the CAP and TCF websites. Teixeira's book, The Emerging Democratic Majority, written with John Judis (Scribner, 2002), was the most widely-discussed political book of that year and generated praise across the political spectrum, from George Will on the right to E.J. Dionne on the left. It was selected as one of the best books of the year by The Economist magazine. Teixeira's most recent writings include The Politics of Definition (with John Halpin), Back to the Future: The Emerging Democratic Majority Re-emerges (with John Judis) and the New Politics Institute reports, The Next Frontier: A New Study of Exurbia and The Progressive Politics of the Millennial Generation.
