THE AI ANGLE
Answering voter questions about candidates and political claims

A Pew survey found that only 8% of American adults use AI chatbots to find 2026 election information. Those who do use them mainly look up candidate stances and fact-check political claims. Researchers tracking political communication see that chatbots remain a minor tool for voter news despite broad general use.
