On the first episode of Missouri on the Record, I sit down with Rudi Keller to break down the latest SLU/YouGov poll, what it says about Missouri’s political mood and whether signs of a strong Democratic year nationally could reach the state. #moleg #mogov

💸 The Fed raised interest rates by 0.25 percentage point yesterday. What did affordability look like for Missouri voters before that decision? In our August SLU/YouGov Poll, majorities were worried about six of the seven household expenses we asked about. 🧵
🎓 Younger voters are especially worried about education expenses. 73% of ages 18–29 are very or somewhat worried about being able to afford them, 48 points higher than voters 65+ (25%). Among ages 30–44, 51% are very or somewhat worried.
📊 From health care and groceries to housing and utilities, affordability concerns are widespread among Missouri voters. See the full August 2026 SLU/YouGov Poll results, including demographic and regional crosstabs, here:

🏗️How much of Missouri voters’ opposition to data centers is “not in my backyard”? Our new SLU/YouGov Poll included a question-order experiment, and the results suggest where voters imagine the data center matters. 🧵
The takeaway: Missouri voters have become more opposed to data centers overall, but where the project is located matters. 🏡 Our experiment suggests some voters who don’t want one nearby may be more willing to accept one in the state of Missouri.
