§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.

Doesn’t say whom it works for. Its home and about pages say it serves political, municipal and advocacy campaigns but do not say whether it works for candidates or parties of one side, and they name no party or campaign client.1,2

Of its 1 poll 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

  • Ownership is not stated beyond the affiliate relationship with Gotham Government Relations.
  • No standing news partner was found; the home page shows logos of outlets that covered its polls but does not describe any of them as a partner.
  • No outside fieldwork or panel vendor is named; the pages read describe voter-roll samples and online and text-message polling.
  • No current leadership page was found; leaders are as named in the October 2024 launch release.
  • Searches found no AAPOR statement, court ruling, regulator action, aggregator statement about excluding or reweighting its polls, or retraction by the firm.
