On this episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky breaks down the real data driving the political fallout from the Iran war—and why it’s starting to hit where it hurts most: the economy and voter sentiment.
Gas prices are surging, public approval is slipping, and new polling shows a clear shift among independents and even core Republican voters. What started as a distant foreign policy issue is now a kitchen-table crisis, reshaping the political landscape ahead of the midterms.
Ryan dives into the numbers behind declining support, the erosion of Trump’s coalition, and why economic pressure—from fuel costs to broader inflation concerns—is becoming the defining issue. Plus, Ryan examines new data on AI, voter priorities, and emerging “80-20” issues that could decide the next election.
