New poll: Where do Americans get their news?

A YouGov poll commissioned by the news app See So revealed that 64% of American adults get information about the 2026 midterm congressional elections from online content creators, indicating the growing role of influencers in conveying political news and shaping voter attitudes, especially among younger generations. The figure rises to 77% among Generation Z (ages 18-29) and to 67% among Millennials (ages 30-45). 43% of American adults reported following election information provided by content creators at least once a week, while 21% said they receive this information less frequently. The poll surveyed 2,000 American adults and was conducted between September 16 and 28, 2026, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.46 percentage points. The results showed that 60% of participants follow election-related information with great or moderate interest, while 67% said they are likely to vote in the upcoming November elections.
