Study finds Grok favors Republicans, GPT favors Democrats

A study by Convovo found that when forced to pick candidates in upcoming midterm races, xAI's Grok 4.7 recommended Republicans 92% of the time, while OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol chose Democrats 97% of the time. Across nearly 500 races, the models agreed less than 10% of the time. Consumer apps refused to answer directly, but researcher Tapan Parikh of Cornell said hidden biases still surface in general political conversations. The models also differed in sources and topics searched, with Grok favoring conservative sites and immigration issues, while GPT leaned on mainstream outlets and healthcare topics.
