A new GrayHouse national poll found the Trump-Vance fraud task force is a major winning issue for Republicans, and it starts with a belief voters already hold. 66% of voters say "fraud, waste, and abuse is endemic in government programs and spending, and represents a serious, ongoing drain on the federal budget." That includes 57% of Democrats. Only 26% say it's a relatively minor issue being overstated. When voters are told the task force has "referred 22 billion dollars in fraudulent small business loans to the Treasury for collection, deferred 1.3 billion dollars in suspicious Medicaid payments, and identified 6.3 billion dollars in suspected fraudulent government contracts," 61% approve and only 23% disapprove. Independents approve 51-29. Democrats approve 45-35. Net positive with every partisan group. 52% of voters say "there is enough waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending that we could better fund programs just by cutting it out." Only 39% say the only realistic way is raising taxes on the wealthy. Among Independents it's 48-37. washingtonreporter.news/excl…

A GrayHouse poll conducted over the weekend correctly predicted Ed Gallrein's victory over 14-year incumbent Thomas Massie in the Kentucky 4th Congressional District GOP primary, landing within 1 point of Massie's final vote share. This was the most expensive House primary in American history, with record GOP primary turnout and a race that shifted dramatically in its final week. The results showcased GrayHouse's best-in-class multi-mode methodology, reaching hard-to-reach voters other pollsters miss and accurately modeling the electorate.

GrayHouse founder Landon Wall to the New York Times on Tuesday’s primary election results: the results demonstrated that alignment with the MAGA base and Mr. Trump’s brand was paramount in the party, even more so than incumbency. “The candidates who struggled were almost exclusively the ones without his support,” Mr. Wall said, suggesting that even the perception that Mr. Cornyn was “insufficiently close to the president” had hurt him.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ nytimes.com/2026/03/05/us/el…
