§1About

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Glengariff Group, Inc. is a Michigan survey research firm owned by Richard Czuba, according to his author profile at Bridge Michigan, which says he conducts public polling for WDIV and The Detroit News.1 A Detroit Regional Chamber biography says Czuba has more than three decades of survey and focus group experience and served as advisor to Michigan's governor for research and planning before founding the firm.2 WDIV says its October 2026 Michigan poll with The Detroit News was a live-operator telephone survey of 600 likely voters conducted by Glengariff.3

§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

  • The Detroit News (2010–now). An August 2010 WDIV-TV release says Glengariff conducted a poll for Local 4 and The Detroit News, and WDIV says The Detroit News and WDIV commissioned Glengariff's October 2026 survey.3,4
  • WDIV-TV (2010–now). The same 2010 release and WDIV's October 2026 report name WDIV-TV as a sponsor of Glengariff's Michigan polls.3,4

Polls regularly for

  • Detroit Regional Chamber (2020–now). The Detroit Regional Chamber says it has partnered with Glengariff Group since 2020 to conduct recurring polls of registered Michigan voters.5
  • Michigan Education Association (2026-07–now). The Michigan Education Association lists itself and Business Leaders for Michigan as the sponsors of a Glengariff telephone poll of 600 likely voters fielded July 22 to 24, 2026.6
  • Business Leaders for Michigan (2026-07–now). The same Michigan Education Association page names Business Leaders for Michigan as a co-sponsor of the July 2026 Glengariff poll.6

Founded by

  • Richard Czuba. The Detroit Regional Chamber biography says Czuba founded Glengariff Group after serving as advisor to the governor.2

Led by

  • Richard Czuba. Bridge Michigan's profile describes Czuba as owner of Glengariff Group.1

§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 candidates or groups in both parties. The Detroit Regional Chamber biography of Czuba, written by a standing client rather than the firm, says both the Michigan Senate Republican and Senate Democratic caucuses turned to him in 2012 and calls that research nonpartisan; the firm's own website could not be reached.2

  • Michigan Senate Republican caucus (2012–now). The Detroit Regional Chamber biography says the Michigan Senate Republican caucus turned to Czuba in 2012 for research on voter attitudes toward road and education funding.2
  • Michigan Senate Democratic caucus (2012–now). The same biography says the Michigan Senate Democratic caucus also turned to Czuba in 2012 for that research.2

Of its 15 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 0 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 0 by a Republican-aligned sponsor7.

§4Record against results

Why this matters: The one test that doesn't depend on other polls: how close a firm's final polls came to what voters did.

From FiveThirtyEight's final public data8,9: general-election polls between a Democrat and a Republican in the last three weeks before each election, compared with the certified result. FiveThirtyEight rated each name polls were published under separately. Across all 8,957 such polls, the average miss was D+0.7, so the relative figure takes out the misses every pollster shared that year.

Error is the poll's D−R margin minus the result's; D+ means it showed Democrats doing better than they did.

ABC News closed FiveThirtyEight in March 2025; its data stops at the 2022 elections. 2026 results will be added once states certify them.

§6What we looked for and didn't find

  • The firm's website (glengariffgroup.com) did not resolve, so its own description, founding year and client list could not be read.
  • The caucus clients are described only in a client's biography of Czuba, not on a page published by the firm.
  • No fieldwork or panel vendor was found.
  • Searches found no AAPOR statement, court ruling or filing, regulator action, aggregator statement about excluding or reweighting its polls, or retraction by the firm.
