§1About

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

Ipsos is a market research and polling group that its website says was founded in France in 1975 by Didier Truchot and works in 90 markets.2 An Ipsos release says the company has been listed on the Paris stock exchange since 1999.3 Ipsos said in July 2026 that its board appointed Kelly Beaver as chief executive.4

§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.

Owns

  • Ipsos Public Affairs. A 2014 Ipsos release describes Ipsos Public Affairs as the survey research practice within Ipsos that handles public affairs work in the US.3
  • GfK Custom Research (four divisions, including Public Affairs) (2018–now). Ipsos said in October 2018 that it had completed buying four GfK custom research divisions, including Public Affairs, for an enterprise value of 105 million euros.5

News partners

  • Reuters. Ipsos publishes Reuters/Ipsos polls that it says it conducts on its probability-based KnowledgePanel, most recently from October 29 to November 2, 2026.6
  • ABC News. Ipsos publishes ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos polls conducted on its KnowledgePanel, including one fielded October 24 to 28, 2025.7
  • The Washington Post. Ipsos publishes ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos polls conducted on its KnowledgePanel, including one fielded October 24 to 28, 2025.7

Founded by

  • Didier Truchot (1975). The Ipsos about page names Didier Truchot as founder and honorary chair of its board.2

Led by

  • Kelly Beaver (2026–now). Ipsos said on 31 July 2026 that its board had appointed Kelly Beaver chief executive, succeeding Jean Laurent Poitou.4

Published with

Names its polls have been published under, alongside other pollsters or news outlets.

Who paid for its polls

Sponsors named on its polls, most polls first8. A party-aligned flag is VoteHub's, per poll.

Reuters168November 12, 2018 – November 2, 2026No

ABC News10April 25, 2025 – April 28, 2026No
With Honor (PAC)1July 25, 2024No

§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.

Says it does no work for parties or candidates. A 2014 Ipsos release describes its US public affairs unit, Ipsos Public Affairs, as nonpartisan and objective.3

Of its 122 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 0 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 0 by a Republican-aligned sponsor8.

§4How its numbers compare with other polls

Why this matters: A firm whose polls run steadily to one side of everyone else's is worth reading alongside others.

Each of its polls since the 2024 election is compared with other pollsters' polls of the same question whose field period ended within 14 days, each other pollster counted once8. The figure is the average gap, with a 95% margin. This compares it with other polls, not with the truth: the others can be the ones that are off.

Party margin
R+1.9 (±0.4) across 35 polls of the generic ballot and 2026 races, in 1 contest.
Net approval: Donald Trump
−6.3 points (±0.8) across 58 polls, against other polls of the same question.
Net favorability: Donald Trump
−3.0 points (±4.5) across 11 polls, against other polls of the same question.
Net favorability: JD Vance
−6.5 points (±1.7) across 11 polls, against other polls of the same question.

D+ means its polls showed Democrats doing better than other polls did; R+, Republicans. A figure from fewer than 5 polls isn't shown.

§5Record 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 data9,10: 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.
Published asPollsElectionsAverage missRelative to other pollsTypical size of miss538's last rating
Ipsos1742002–2022D+2.4D+0.34.7 pts2.8 of 3

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

§6Documented findings

Why this matters: Only findings by a professional body, a court, a regulator, an aggregator's own published decision, or the pollster itself are listed, each cited to that decision.

  • British Polling Council, May 16, 2008. Ipsos wrote in May 2008 that a British Polling Council committee found it had broken council rules by not giving full details of a survey for Transport for London after the Mayor of London released some of its findings. Ipsos said it accepted the finding and apologized, and that the council took no further action because Ipsos had since released the survey tables.11

§8What we looked for and didn't find

  • The shareholder table in the Ipsos 2025 Universal Registration Document was not retrieved, so no ownership breakdown is recorded.
  • No Ipsos page was found that dates when KnowledgePanel became part of Ipsos.
  • No start dates were found for the Reuters/Ipsos or ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos arrangements.
  • The most recent Ipsos statement found about political work dates from 2014.
  • The British Polling Council page for the 2008 matter could not be retrieved (HTTP 425), so the finding is cited to the Ipsos account of it.
  • Beyond the finding recorded, searches found no AAPOR statement, court ruling or filing, regulator action, aggregator statement about excluding or reweighting its polls, or retraction by the firm; regulators outside the US, such as the French Commission des sondages, were not searched in depth.
  • 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.
