The Young Voter Shift and the October Ops: Jim Pfaff on The Vicki McKenna Show | Oct 8, 2026
Vicki McKenna brings Jim Pfaff a fresh YouGov poll: a 64% increase in support for MAGA candidates and Trump among voters under 25. Pfaff hopes the young voter shift is real, asks what pollsters are sampling, and says polls are so inconsistent that district results swing 5, 7, 8 points. The two sort the October ops from what is real, Pfaff calls the AI doomerism push a psyop, says the Senate stays Republican at 50 to 53 seats, and predicts turnout differences that are going to shock a lot of people.
