Send us a textKristen Soltis Anderson — pollster, author, and Founding Partner of Echelon Insights — joins 13th & Park for a deeply analytical conversation on voter behavior, the national mood, and the political forces shaping America ahead of the 2026 midterms.Drawing on years of public opinion research, Kristen breaks down why voter anxiety is rising, where trust in institutions has collapsed, and which issues matter most to voters across generations. She explains the widening gap between leaders and the electorate, how younger voters are consuming politics through an entirely different ecosystem, and why the cost-of-living crisis is redefining political identity in ways both parties are struggling to understand.Kristen also offers a clear look at emerging electoral signals: the rise of low-propensity voters, the polarization of information sources, the psychological roots of political fear, and how AI may transform campaigns, persuasion, and civic engagement. Through the lens of Echelon Insights’ research, she outlines the lessons both parties must learn — and the blind spots they can’t afford to ignore — as the country approaches another pivotal election cycle.A candid, data-driven exploration of where voters are today, where they’re headed, and what it means for America’s political future.Filmed at our Washington, D.C. studio.Listen to us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2yqqjgPtA7NR2cJewPqbNQ?si=e9df5028fc0e4dd9Listen to us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/13th-park/id1645880081Follow Kristen Soltis AndersonX: https://x.com/KSoltisAndersonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ksoltisanderson/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-soltis-anderson-38b968258/Follow Echelon InsightsX: https://x.com/EchelonInsightsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/echelon-insights/Follow Us!X: https://x.com/13thandParkIG: https://www.instagram.com/13th_and_parkwww.ballardpartners.comAbout 13th and Park:13th and Park is a dynamic media platform produced by Ballard Partners.
