The utility of Sentient’s patented implicit technology spans well beyond brands. The political sphere is shaped by the opinions of the public, yet is still subject to the “Can’t Say, Won’t Say” dilemma. Explicit polling used to understand voters’ preferences and accurately predict a candidate’s success is insufficient. Often people are unwilling or unable to articulate their true feelings. Combining explicit data with implicit (non-conscious) provides a more reliable account of behavior.

As candidates begin to announce their campaigns for the 2024 US presidential election, we are using our technology to track changes in Implicit Emotional Appeal with the key Democratic and Republican contenders over time and improve polling results. Over the next year until Election Day, Sentient will provide consistent updates with relevant advertising and messaging examples to assess which candidates are truly preferred and determine how rankings develop.

Implicit Appeal Tracker

Following current reporting on expected and announced candidates, Sentient is measuring the implicit appeal for the following individuals:

| ![Biden](https://insights.sentientdecisionscience.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Biden.png?width=100&height=125&name=Biden.png) | Joe Biden (D) As the current President of the United States, Biden aims to be re-elected in 2024. He plans to invest in key battleground states early and expand his reach in North Carolina and Florida with a [seven-figure ad buy](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/biden-campaign-memo-number-viable-pathways-2024-victory-rcna85026). |

| ![Pence](https://insights.sentientdecisionscience.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pence.png?width=100&height=125&name=Pence.png) | Mike Pence (R) The former Vice President of the United States is expected to launch his 2024 bid next week in Des Moines, Iowa, [a location that values Pence’s traditional conservative principles.](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/pence-set-launch-presidential-campaign-week-rcna87040) |
