Independent public opinion research · Launching Fall 2026
Public trust in polling is near a low, and the industry’s answer has been to explain less. We publish everything: the full methodology, every question as it was asked, the crosstabs as a file you can open, and a public grade on every election we poll.
The Integrity Standard
These are not aspirations. They are the publication checklist, and a release that cannot meet all five does not go out.
Field dates, sample size, mode, sampling frame, weighting targets, response rate and margin of error, published alongside the numbers. Never on request. Never in a footnote.
Every question exactly as respondents heard it, in sequence, including rotations and screeners. If the wording could have moved the answer, you can see for yourself.
A CSV of every public release broken out by age, party, region, gender and education, with unweighted sample sizes. Not a PDF screenshot. A file you can open.
If a candidate is on the ballot, they are in our question and in our report by name. Third-party and independent voters are not rounded into "other."
Within 30 days of certification we publish how far off we were, graded against our own margin of error, with the misses given the same prominence as the hits.
The full standard runs to about 3,000 words.
Sampling, weighting, question design, how we report uncertainty, and the AAPOR disclosure items we meet.

Sample releases below demonstrate the template. Each one carries the full methodology, verbatim questions, interactive crosstabs and downloadable data.
In this illustrative pilot, the Institutional Trust Index reads 41 on a 0–100 scale and the Representation Index reads 31. Local election officials are the most trusted institution tested; Congress the least. Thirty-eight percent of adults say neither major party represents them.
Among likely voters in a hypothetical statewide race, Maria Delgado (D) leads Thomas Reed (R) 44–40, with Libertarian Alicia Park at 7 and Green Devon Okafor at 2. The lead sits just inside the margin of error.
After hearing a neutral description, 58 percent of U.S. adults support letting voters rank candidates in order of preference. Nearly two-thirds say independent and third-party candidates should face the same signature requirements as major-party nominees.
Why another pollster?
Polling has always had error. What it has lost is the ability of an ordinary reader to see where the error might be coming from. We built a firm around putting that back.
Fewer than one in twenty people answer a survey call. Every poll now leans on a weighting model, which is a set of assumptions about who did not answer. Most firms keep the model to themselves. We publish ours.
By the industry’s own post-mortem, 2020’s national polls were the least accurate in forty years. The error was explained, debated, and then the same firms published the next cycle’s polls with no public accounting. We grade ourselves, in public, every time.
A poll without its question wording is an opinion with a sample size. We publish every question in the order it was asked, and a CSV of the crosstabs, with every release. Not on request.
Independent and third-party voters are routinely erased by questions that name two candidates and bucket the rest. If a candidate is on the ballot, they are in our question by name. The results are reported for every one of them.
