How to spot a shaky poll in about 30 seconds: skip the headline and scroll to the bottom. Check the party split, how respondents say they voted last time, and the age breaks. If the sample doesn’t look like the electorate, the topline won’t either.

"There's good and bad news for Republicans in both the voter registration and turnout."
@cygnal CEO @brentbuc tells @larry_kudlow the best news in all of it, with just days left, is GOP voters tend to turn out on Election Day.

Thanks for having me on yesterday, @larry_kudlow!
"There's good and bad news for Republicans in both the voter registration and turnout."
@cygnal CEO @brentbuc tells @larry_kudlow the best news in all of it, with just days left, is GOP voters tend to turn out on Election Day.
“Republicans can still narrow the gap,” writes @brentbuc in @DailyMail.
Democrats lead the generic ballot 51-43. Early voters favor them by 28. But Election Day voters favor Republicans by 15.
Our CEO Brent Buchanan names the 4 voter groups that will decide the midterms, in @DailyMail👇

Nearly half of Republicans haven’t voted yet. 48% plan to show up Nov. 3, while Democrats lead in mail-in, absentee, and early voting.
@brentbuc to @DailySignal: “This election now comes down to who shows up on Election Day.”

.@Kalshi has Democrats at 63% to sweep Congress.
Among swing voters who haven't voted yet, 43% lean Republican and 30% lean Democratic, per @cygnal.
And their ideology is moderate to conservative, giving the GOP a chance to make a closing message.

Gas is $4.26 a gallon nationally. A year ago it was $3.05. It's simple, but this is how people judge the economy.
If Democrats win the House, 35% of voters want them to start on gas and energy prices, per @cygnal. Among swing voters it's 51%!

Washington frames #AI as a Cold War. Voters are focused on how it affects their lives.
They’re intrigued by breakthroughs, skeptical it will cut costs, and apprehensive about privacy and relationships.

"The biggest group, 32%, are fed up. They aren't scared of AI, they aren't scared of the technology, but they're frustrated in everything around it." @johnrogersal

New Pulse Pod special on AI: Fed Up, Not Freaked Out 🎧
Voters’ biggest reaction to AI isn’t fear, it’s anger. 72% say it’s moving too fast, including 61% of Republicans. And a data center that checks every box we tested still loses 51–38 in voters’ own backyards.
For data center developers, checking boxes won't be enough. The projects that win are the ones that get ahead of the backlash and show up in the community before the fight starts. @brentbuc and @johnrogersal break down how voters really feel about AI and what the industry needs to do to earn their trust 👇
