i dont disagree that dcs / ai were clearly not *the* most important factor for voters but calling it a "blip" is misleading imo

in the bigger breakdown it beat out abortion, climate change, and gaza and was just a couple % pts behind jobs and iran

Ways to poll voters about issue prioritization, from worst to best:

- How important is issue X to your vote?
- Pick most impt issue from a short list
- Pick most impt from a long list
- Open-ended

@SearchlightInst did it the best way. And AI / data centers was a blip
