Trump’s own pollster ranked Epstein the #6 voter issue in March 2026 — ahead of data centers
Evidence
- Per the NYT, an internal late-March 2026 memo from Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio ranked the “Epstein files” the sixth most important issue in focus groups — behind inflation, the economy, foreign policy, immigration and health care, but ahead of data centers, military issues, crime, and “pro-working class.” — Source: NYT, Haberman & Swan, June 10 2026

Counter-evidence
Focus-group salience is not vote-determinative, and the administration had initially dismissed Epstein as a fringe concern. (Note: the memo ranking Epstein just ahead of “data centers” is a small thread to the federal-AI-infrastructure cluster.)
