Stars, Politics and Pop: What the Crowd Thinks Now

United StatesThu Aug 27 2026

People currently seem to think that the next James Bond will not be Aaron Taylor-Johnson, James Norton or Paul Mescal. The chatter around these names feels weak, with most fans doubting any of them will get the call. Instead, the mood is that the role will go to someone else not yet in the spotlight.

When it comes to future presidential bids, the feeling is different. Many expect Gavin Newsom to step forward soon, and Pete Buttigieg also looks likely to announce a run. For Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, opinions are split, with a slight tilt toward yes but a noticeable group staying unsure.

Regarding Carly Rae Jepsen's upcoming album, the outlook is mixed. Some think the first-week sales will fall below the expected level, while others believe they will land somewhere in the middle range. A smaller group feels the numbers will stay clearly under the middle mark.

For the latest Bachelorette season, the consensus is that Aaron Kahng, Brad Ledford and Brandon Perce are unlikely to take the crown. Most viewers feel the winner will be someone else not yet mentioned. The mood leans toward surprise rather than confidence in any of the three.
