Unlocking Success: How Embracing Cygnal Values and Industry Excellence Propelled My Student Body President Campaign 

Winning election as Student Body President of any college or university is not easy. I know; I tried twice. I first ran for Student Body President of Patrick Henry College my freshman year in the spring of 2023. As the campaign went on, we truly believed we had a shot at winning, but as a freshman, my youth and inexperience were perceived as too great of flaws to overcome, and we lost the race.

Townhall – Veterans Shaping America: Reflections on Memorial Day’s Political Impact

While Memorial Day is for cookouts, gallivanting on the beach, and spending time away from work and with our family and friends, we forget exactly what this day means to our country and to countless families nationwide. This year, I find myself reflecting more about the deep impact on the psyche of the generation that fought in the era of the "forever wars" from the turn of the century to today.

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Statewide Poll: Oklahomans Say Education is a Top Priority, Support Career Pathways, and Oppose Minimum Wage Hikes and Foreign Land Ownership 

WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 17, 2024) – Cygnal, the nation's fastest-growing and most accurate private polling firm, released the following national poll (conducted Apr. 9-10) of 1,500 likely general election voters.  “This latest national poll shows a new key voter group emerging. They are young, ticked-off, diverse, working-class, and trending toward Republicans. These voters also skew more female, tend to be younger than 45, and a majority voted for Trump in 2020,” said Cygnal Pollster Mitch Brown. “Despite aligning well with the GOP base, these voters are more moderate and slightly more likely to view the Republican Party as more extreme. And while both Trump and Biden are underwater, with Trump just a tad more than Biden, the main difference is that this group is much more inflation focused. At the same time, illegal immigration and tertiary issues like healthcare are distant priorities. This is both an opportunity and a challenge for Republicans. They will need to speak to those top issues while not appearing extreme on fronts that don’t appeal to those issues if they want to maintain the advantage with 18 percent of the electorate that could swing the outcome of the election.”

With just months until the 2024 presidential election, data trends provide us with further proof that a huge shift is occurring across America’s political constituencies. It’s clear this realignment will be firmly cemented in our national politics and that both parties have been slow to match their policymaking with the political preferences of their respective bases.
