The top 10 neighbors for Larry Sabato are a mix of political journalists, politicians, and professionals — with no fellow Academics appearing in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 0.97 indicates near-identical audience shape.
The scores span a narrow band from 0.97 down to 0.95, consistent with the flat shape classification. Cook Political Report leads at 0.97, the only non-person entity in the top 10. Four journalists follow in close succession: David Brooks (0.96), Chris Cillizza (0.96), Jonathan Karl (0.96), and Kaitlan Collins (0.96). Politicians account for two slots — Tim Miller (0.96) and Evan McMullin (0.95) — while Professionals fill two more: Frank Luntz (0.96) and Scott Gottlieb, MD (0.95). Ronald Klain (0.96), a Government Official, rounds out the set.
The dominant subcategory is Journalists (four of ten neighbors), but the cluster is genuinely mixed — political operatives, officials, and a polling professional all appear at nearly the same similarity level. No single neighbor pulls away from the pack, and no other Academic appears in the top 10.
This flat, cross-kind pattern suggests Sabato's audience is defined less by academic identity than by a shared appetite for political analysis and insider coverage across formats and roles.
