A Unique View into Political Engagement
At Evercontact, where our users are primarily executives, entrepreneurs, and independent professionals, we are uniquely positioned to analyze how influential individuals engage with election-related messaging. By processing 20 million emails per day from four key swing states, we discovered intriguing trends that offer a new lens into voter engagement and campaign outreach.
1. 74% of Users Receive Election-Related Emails
Our analysis shows that 74% of users—including business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals—are receiving emails related to the election. Campaigns are clearly targeting high-impact individuals who can influence their networks.
- Why this matters: This group often plays a pivotal role in campaigns, providing financial support, spreading awareness, and mobilizing their own contacts to vote. Understanding how campaigns engage with these individuals offers valuable insight into election dynamics.
2. GOP Outpaces DNC in Newsletter Subscriptions
Among users receiving election-related emails, 62% subscribe to GOP newsletters, compared to 38% following the DNC. The Republican advantage could reflect stronger messaging to entrepreneurs and executives or more aggressive outreach to these segments.
- Implication: Business leaders might align more with GOP messaging on economic and fiscal policies. This trend suggests that Republicans may have a mobilization edge in swing states where turnout among high-profile professionals can make a difference.
3. Fun Fact: 0.4% Subscribe to Both GOP and DNC Newsletters
Interestingly, 0.4% of users receive emails from both parties, offering a rare glimpse into politically curious or undecided professionals. These users might represent a critical swing group, engaging with both sides before deciding which candidate to support.
- Why it’s intriguing: Monitoring this cohort over time could offer early indicators of shifts in political sentiment, particularly among influential professionals.

5. Why This Matters for the 2024 Election
With independent professionals and executives playing an outsized role in campaign funding and public influence, these findings suggest Republicans have built stronger networks among these groups. However, undecided professionals—represented by the 0.4% receiving both GOP and DNC content—could still swing the election, especially in battleground states.
- Actionable Insight: Campaigns need to double down on outreach to this undecided group in the final weeks to secure critical votes.
