§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.

Works for Democratic candidates or groups. The campaigns its partner biographies name are the Biden and Harris presidential campaigns in North Carolina and those of Josh Stein, Roy Cooper and Jeff Jackson, and the same page lists Falmlen's past posts as executive director of the North Carolina and Florida Democratic parties; no Republican client is named. This rests on the clients it names, not on any statement of whom it works for.¹

Josh Stein. Its partner biographies say Falmlen holds a senior role in Governor Josh Stein's campaigns and that Jackson is Stein's chief political advisor and worked on his 2024 win.¹
Roy Cooper. Its partner biographies say Jackson worked on Roy Cooper's 2016 and 2020 campaigns for governor and that Falmlen is a senior advisor to Cooper.¹
Jeff Jackson. Its partner biographies say Falmlen holds a senior role in North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson's campaigns and that Morgan Jackson is his chief political advisor.¹
Biden and Harris presidential campaigns (North Carolina) (2020–2024). Its website says Falmlen was senior advisor to the Biden campaign in North Carolina in 2020 and to the Harris campaign there in 2024.¹

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 sponsor⁴.

§5What we looked for and didn't find

No ownership beyond its partners was found.
No standing news partner or standing non-news client was found; the Healthier United poll is the only poll found, and the release names the people involved rather than the firm.
No fieldwork or panel vendor was found, and the poll results file linked from the Healthier United release is a Google Drive file that asks for a sign-in, so its method and credits could not be read.
The client list rests on partner biographies on its home page; no separate client list was found.
Searches found no AAPOR statement, court ruling, regulator action, aggregator statement about excluding or reweighting its polls, or retraction by the firm.
