US Midterms 2026: Media, living costs and the campaign agenda

Inside the publication

The supplied deck compares voter priorities with news attention, examines party and candidate visibility, and tracks coverage of the economy. It distinguishes topic importance in polls from shares of coded media statements and notes incomplete October data.

Date note: the deck labels its analysis as January 2025–October 2026, but some cutoff notes read “10/2025”. Consult the source methodology and clarify that discrepancy before relying on a precise cutoff.
