Study finds Grok leans Republican and GPT leans Democratic
What happened
On 24 October 2026, TechCrunch reported a Convovo study in which researchers asked Grok 4.7 and GPT-6.1 Sol via API who they should vote for. Across nearly 500 elections, 92% of Grok's answers recommended Republican candidates and 97% of GPT's recommended Democrats, with agreement between the two below 10%. The report says the results came under a forced two-choice setting. So far the only development is the disclosure of the study; the report does not mention any response from the model makers or further verification.
