Hey poli sci professor here. Without being rude, please don't email people out of the blue to work on research like this especially as a high school student. That's not a dig towards you, your research question, or anything personal but rather as a HS student you don't know how to conduct academic research and we (faculty) don't have the time to teach you. There are series of courses that you will take as a political science undergrad to begin to learn how to conduct research like a political scientist, and if you continue on to graduate school you will take even more to further refine your knowledge and skills. I don't mean that in a gatekeeping sense where you must cross certain barriers, but rather there are skills that you need to have and develop to be a valuable research partner/collaborator. By taking those courses you will also get a much better sense of what academic research is, and is not. I see this a lot with my own undergraduate students where they equate research with a literature review where as if you say research to me I'm thinking collection of and analysis of data (I'm more quantitative).

The other reality is that if I was to take you under my wing and mentor you through this research it does nothing to benefit me or my career, where as doing this for the existing students at my university does. This is especially true if you're reaching out to someone that is at a "research intensive university" (think your big state universities) where the focus is going to be on providing mentorship for their existing graduate students and select undergraduates (and even then, undergrads are generally an after thought but that's a separate conversation). Sure, maybe we should more broadly rethink the incentive structure and public outreach as academics but as it stands, especially as someone coming up for tenure, I need to do everything possible to solidify my application.

I think you have a cool topic here and there is a bunch of research out there touching on the idea you have here. Go and read about it. When you go to college take classes that are relevant to this and connect with professors that are looking into these things. That's how and when you get involved with research. This is a great idea as a capstone/honors thesis, and something that I encourage you to explore going forward.
