"The poll from FabrizioWard found the national general Congressional ballot currently favors Democrats by a seven-point margin. FabrizioWard is the strategy and consulting firm led by Tony Fabrizio and Bob Ward; Fabrizio is a veteran Republican strategist who served as Trump's chief pollster in 2016, 2020, and 2024. The firm's latest figures were released last week on December 18. It was based on 1,000 registered voters across the U.S."
"The memo urged Republicans to protect kids by backing AI regulations a move that would win big support among parents, the firm said. Republicans have a choice: they can take advantage of a strong desire among the electorate for the federal government to protect kids and empower parents from AI harms and gain needed electoral support, or they can take the minority view arguing for state-by-state regulations, the firm said."
"There is huge electoral upside to taking action, while standing in the way of national standards to protect kids and empower parents opens Republicans up to significant electoral damage. This is one way Republicans can not only narrow the lead Democrats have heading into '26, FabrizioWard wrote in its memo it would be a way to completely flip the midterms."
A FabrizioWard poll of 1,000 registered U.S. voters shows the national general Congressional ballot favors Democrats by seven points. The firm focused its memorandum on federal standards to protect minors from artificial intelligence and urged Republicans to back national AI regulations to win strong parental support. The memo framed a choice between endorsing national standards to protect kids and empower parents or advocating state-by-state regulations and risking electoral damage. The firm reported more than 80% of voters support a national law requiring AI companies to take reasonable steps to reduce risks to minors, listing specific harms. The firm argued that supporting such policies could lift Republican ballot support dramatically and potentially flip the midterms.
