One of his big loves is working for The Napolitan Institute, which he founded to do deep dives into Americans' real attitudes rather than the ones revealed by the flawed and often motivated polling done today.&nbsp;]]>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[David Strom]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Polling]]><![CDATA[America 250]]>https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/06/04/not-shocking-poll-shows-aoc-voters-dont-like-america-prefer-foreign-countries-n3815586<![CDATA[First, let's start with the big news that dropped late yesterday.

So reporters who were there all day today were not able to live post about what happened.

The former is pretty ironic given that most of the people likely to lose coding jobs are from the same industry as the people who created large language models like ChatGPT.
