A new Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll revealed this week that “Americans are broadly dissatisfied with President Trump’s leadership on the Iran war and other key issues” and found “an electorate in which Democrats are significantly more motivated to vote.”
Alex Jacquez, former Special Assistant to the President for Economic Development and Industrial Strategy at the White House National Economic Council during the Biden administration, shared a line graph from the poll noting another key finding of the poll: The majority of Americans (51 percent) don’t trust either political party to handle the key issue of Artificial Intelligence.
Jacquez read the distrust as an opportunity and wrote: “That AI number is a big fat jump ball for Dems to seize.”
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) agreed, replying: “Being the party that will protect people from the worst of AI is the right thing to do and has the side benefit of being very politically advantageous.”
When one X user suggested “holding AI data centers accountable for rising electricity costs and water usage” and keeping “AI regulated to where it’s only focused on things like health and safety and not being harmful toward the American people, and ensuring AI doesn’t take American jobs,” Jacquez replied, “This sounds like a great start to me.”
[NOTE: Jacquez is currently Chief of Policy and Advocacy at Groundwork Collaborative, a nonprofit organization that fights “to change economic policy and narratives in order to build public power, break up concentrations of private power, and deliver true opportunity and prosperity for all.”]
