§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.

Founded by

  • John Zogby. Its founder's story and team page name John Zogby as the founder.2,3

Led by

  • Jeremy Zogby. Its team page names Jeremy Zogby as managing partner.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 site does not say whether the firm works for one party: its polling services page calls it an occasional independent pollster, and its clients page lists campaigns of John McCain and Michael Bloomberg (both dated 1999), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (2024) and Ehud Barak in Israel without giving their parties.4,5

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 2024 presidential campaign (2024–now). Its clients page lists the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 2024 presidential campaign.5
  • John McCain for President (1999–now). Its clients page lists John McCain for President with the year 1999, before John Zogby Strategies was formed in 2016.2,5
  • Michael Bloomberg for New York City Mayor (1999–now). Its clients page lists Michael Bloomberg for New York City Mayor with the year 1999, before John Zogby Strategies was formed in 2016.2,5

Of its 20 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 0 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 0 by a Republican-aligned sponsor6.

Federal campaigns and committees that paid it

§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 once6. 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.

Net approval: Donald Trump
+4.0 points (±1.9) across 13 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 data11,12: 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.

§7What we looked for and didn't find

  • No office location was found on its site.
  • The site does not mention Zogby Analytics or Zogby International, so no relationship to either is recorded.
  • No standing news partner or non-news polling client was found; its clients page lists government, university, nonprofit and company clients without dates.
  • No fieldwork or panel vendor was found; its polling page lists live call, automated call and online methods without naming vendors.
  • The campaign clients listed span four decades of John Zogby's work, and the page gives no dates for most clients.
  • Whether the listed campaigns amount to work for one party or both was not decided here, because the page gives no parties and the 2024 Kennedy campaign ran as an independent after leaving the Democratic primary; a reviewer may want to apply the rule directly.
  • Findings search: web searches combining the name with AAPOR, aggregator exclusion, court, regulator and retraction terms found nothing that fits the finding rules, and AAPOR's statements page names none of this batch's firms.
  • Court records were checked only through web searches; PACER and state court dockets were not searched.
