Who Decides AI Public Opinion Poll

PR Campaign
Wednesday 16th September, 2026

Who Decides commissioned polling of 1,502 registered US voters to show that both Democrats and Republicans want the public, rather than Silicon Valley billionaires, to shape AI’s future. The findings created a timely news hook for launching Alex Bores’s new AI policy organisation.

Why it worked: Exclusive bipartisan polling reframed AI policy as a populist vs. billionaire power struggle, giving reporters fresh conflict plus launch-timed data.

The lesson: Consider fielding a neutral, statistically solid poll that exposes a counterintuitive consensus, then offer it as an exclusive to one outlet.

FAQs

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.

Why isn't my campaign listed?

If you've launched a PR campaign recently and it's not included in here, and you think it should be - drop us a note and we'll investigate.
