§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.

§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.

Works for Republican candidates or groups. Its about page describes Tony Fabrizio as chief pollster for Donald Trump since 2016 and Bob Ward as having worked for Republican candidates at all levels, and AARP's 2026 Texas poll page marks Fabrizio Ward as the Republican half of a bipartisan team with Impact Research. This rests on its own description and on how a standing client identifies it.2,5

Of its 6 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 0 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 0 by a Republican-aligned sponsor7.

§5What we looked for and didn't find

  • No founding year or office address for the firm was found.
  • Its about page says Tony Fabrizio is the Republican half of the bipartisan Wall Street Journal polling team, but our data credit those polls to Fabrizio, Lee & Associates and National Research, so no media partnership is recorded for this firm.
  • Fabrizio's work as Donald Trump's pollster is described on its about page as his own; no page read names the Trump campaigns as clients of this firm.
  • Its polls page lists one-off clients such as the Market Institute and Reform Alliance, and a June 2025 memo to Pinpoint Policy Institute covers the first wave of a quarterly economic tracking poll; no later waves were read, so Pinpoint is not recorded as a standing client.
  • No fieldwork or panel vendor was named; AARP's Texas page describes live phone and SMS-to-web interviews without naming a vendor.
  • Searches found no AAPOR statement, court ruling or filing, regulator action, aggregator statement about excluding or reweighting its polls, or retraction by the firm.
