§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

  • Millennial Strategies (2024–now). The firm's August 2024 press release says it acquired Millennial Strategies, a New York political consulting firm, to open its New York operation, with that firm's co-founders joining as managing directors.1

Founded by

  • Mike DuHaime (2022). According to NJBIZ, Mike DuHaime established the firm in 2022, and the firm's 2024 press release calls him its founder.1,2

Led by

  • Mike DuHaime. The firm's August 2024 press release names Mike DuHaime as chief executive.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.

Doesn’t say whom it works for. The firm's press release calls it a bipartisan public affairs firm, which describes its staff rather than its clients, and neither that release nor the news pages read name any campaign or party clients or say whether it works for candidates of either party.1,2

Of its 2 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 1 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 0 by a Republican-aligned sponsor4.

Federal campaigns and committees that paid it

From 2023 through 2026, 2 federal committees reported paying MAD Global Strategy $125,525 for polling, surveys or research5,6,7,8. By the party each committee reports to the FEC: 1 Democratic, 0 Republican, and 1 none (most PACs and super PACs report none).

The largest payers, by amount paid for polling, surveys or research. Only federal committees report to the FEC; state and local campaigns, work paid through another consultant, and polling billed as consulting are not here. Matched by the payee name on the filing: MAD GLOBAL STRATEGY GROUP, LLC.

§5What we looked for and didn't find

  • The firm's website (madglobalstrategy.com) returned HTTP 403, so its own about, team and services pages were not read, and no page describing its polling practice or pollsters was found.
  • The Pennsylvania poll release for Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future (Susquehanna County Independent) returned HTTP 429, so whether Natural Allies is a repeat client could not be confirmed; only one poll for it is recorded above.
  • No fieldwork or panel vendor is named for its text-to-web surveys.
  • Searches found no AAPOR statement, court ruling, regulator action, aggregator statement about excluding or reweighting its polls, or retraction by the firm.
