The New Politics of Power

How voters are thinking about electric bills, AI data centers, utilities, and the grid.

We polled 1,500 likely 2026 voters on the cost-and-fairness fight reshaping American energy. The deck answers:

  • Who do voters blame for rising electric bills — and where does utility reputation actually sit?
  • How deep is the bipartisan backlash to AI data centers, and which segments are still movable?
  • Which messaging frames on cost, transparency, and grid investment still earn voter trust in 2026?
