§2Who it works with

Why this matters: Owners, news partners and the firms behind a poll's interviews shape what gets asked, how, and what gets published.

News partners

Led by

  • Chris Bravacos. The January 2026 announcement names Chris Bravacos as chief executive and president of Bravo Group.3

§3Whom it works for

Why this matters: A firm that also works for one party's campaigns can still publish accurate polls, but readers deserve to know.

Doesn’t say whom it works for. The Bravo Group home and about pages describe corporate, nonprofit and government clients and do not say whether it works for candidates or parties.1,2

Of its 4 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 0 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 0 by a Republican-aligned sponsor6.

§5What we looked for and didn't find

  • No ownership or shareholder information was found beyond Chris Bravacos being named chief executive and president.
  • The Morning Scrapple pages do not name a fieldwork or panel vendor or the source of the contact lists.
  • No list of political clients was found on its website, so partisan work rests on its silence on the question.
  • Searches found no AAPOR statement, court ruling or filing, regulator action, aggregator statement about excluding or reweighting its polls, or retraction by the firm; a competitor's open letter criticizing the PennLive partnership is listed as a pointer.
  • The Silver Bulletin ratings table and the VoteHub methodology pages could not be read, so aggregator checks rest on published text from aggregators and news searches.
