The Power of the Middle: Why Moderates Still Decide American Elections

In a time of growing polarization, America’s political middle remains surprisingly strong — and more powerful than ever. Roughly one in three Americans now identify as moderate, shaping the outcome of every major election.
This video breaks down Gallup, Pew, and YouGov data showing how moderates and independents form the largest — yet least united — voting bloc in the nation. We explore:
• How moderates are reshaping both parties.
• Why Democrats are losing centrist voters over culture and governance issues.
• How Trump’s “pragmatic populism” appeals to working-class and suburban moderates.
• And why the path to victory in 2026 runs straight through the political center.
📊 Featuring data from Gallup, Reuters/Ipsos, Pew Research, and more.
