POLITICO Quotes GrayHouse on Third-Party Voters
POLITICO quoted GrayHouse founder Landon Wall on third-party candidates in the 2026 Senate races.
His point: a third-party candidate’s polling number does not tell you how many votes they will win—or whose votes they are taking.
Look beyond the topline
Wall noted that Libertarians have often polled ahead of their eventual election results. He also challenged the assumption that their support comes exclusively from Republican voters:
“They grab more idiosyncratic voters than you would think and don’t just take from Republicans.”
— Landon Wall, POLITICO
