Political Robocalls Spike in October: TNS Report
Briefly

In their Q3 report, Transaction Network Services (TNS) found that politically related material content dominated robocalls, with swing states like Wisconsin and Arizona receiving the highest numbers.
TNS's disinformation survey highlighted that 70% of Americans fear AI deepfakes will impact elections, prompting a strong desire for education on recognizing political robocalls.
The report indicated a significant increase in robocalls surrounding key election events, with complaints doubling post-Labor Day, emphasizing the heightened illegitimacy during critical campaign periods.
Despite the surge in political robocalls, YouMail's findings in early October suggested some success in reducing overall robocalls, as nearly 4.5 billion were reported.
