§1About
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Kreate Strategies, which also calls itself KStrat, describes itself as a strategic intelligence provider offering surveys, influence mapping and narrative analysis.1 Its about page lists Kevin Wen as founder and chief executive and Yevgen Reztsov as founder and chief technology officer.1 Its press page lists statewide polls of California, Arizona and Texas and local polls in Riverside, California released during 2026, and its June 2026 California release carries a Los Angeles dateline and says that survey was not sponsored by any campaign, committee or outside group.2,

Who paid for its polls
| Sponsor | Polls | Between | Flagged party-aligned |
|---|---|---|---|
| American Encore | 3 | February 7, 2025 – October 27, 2026 | Republican-aligned sponsor (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. Its about and press pages do not say whether it works for candidates or parties and name no political clients.1,
Of its 4 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 0 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 3 by a Republican-aligned sponsor5.
§42026 record against the count
Why this matters: How close this pollster's last 2026 polls came to how people voted, measured the way FiveThirtyEight measured earlier elections.
One poll of one race between a Democrat and a Republican, with field periods ending in the 21 days before November 3, 2026, compared with each race's count. Some of those races are still being counted, so these figures use the unofficial count and will change until states certify.
- Average miss
- R+7.9
- Relative to other polls of the same races
- R+0.7
- Typical size of miss
- 7.9 pts
Error is the poll's D−R margin minus the count's, as shares of all votes in the race; D+ means it showed Democrats doing better than they did. From fewer than 5 polls, so read it as a few data points, not a pattern.

§6What we looked for and didn't find
- No founding year, headquarters or ownership details were found.
- No standing news partner or non-news client was confirmed; American Encore is recorded only as the sponsor of one poll.
- Its releases describe surveys as multi-modal or online panel without naming fieldwork or panel vendors.
- 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.
- Searches on 2026-11-06 under both Kreate Strategies and KStrat for AAPOR statements, court rulings or settlements, regulator actions, aggregator decisions and retractions or corrections found none naming the firm or its polls, and it does not appear in Silver Bulletin's ratings chart on Datawrapper, updated January 12, 2026.
