§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.

Led by

  • Mario Canseco. Research Co. releases list Mario Canseco as president of the firm.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 What we do page names no clients and does not say whether it works for candidates or parties; this rests on the pages read.1,2

Of its 7 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 0 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 0 by a Republican-aligned sponsor5.

§4Record 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 data6,7: 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.

§6What we looked for and didn't find

  • No founding year, address or ownership was found on its website; the location rests on the dateline of its releases.
  • No US news outlet partner was found; its In the media page logs coverage by Canadian outlets such as CTV but describes no standing arrangement, and Mario Canseco's bylined columns in Glacier Media papers were not traced to a polling partnership.
  • No panel or fieldwork vendor was named; its What we do page refers only to a global network of data collection partners.
  • Searches found no AAPOR statement, court ruling or filing, regulator action, aggregator statement about excluding or reweighting its polls, or retraction by the firm; Canadian industry bodies were not searched in depth.
