§1About

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

The Yale Youth Poll is a survey project at Yale University that its website says is run entirely by undergraduate students and compares the views of young voters with those of all registered voters.1,2 A November 2024 post by Yale's Institution for Social and Policy Studies says students Milan Singh and Jack Dozier founded the poll at ISPS in August 2024, with funding from the ISPS Democratic Innovations program and supervision from political scientist Josh Kalla.3 Its website says the 2024-2025 polls were funded by the ISPS Democratic Innovations Program and the 2025-2026 polls by the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism, with programmatic support from ISPS, and that the poll keeps full editorial and methodological independence from its funders.1,4

§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.

Part of

  • Yale University Institution for Social and Policy Studies (2024–now). The ISPS post says the poll was founded at ISPS, and the poll's website says ISPS gives it programmatic support.1,3

Fieldwork or panel by

  • Verasight (2025–now). Its fall 2025 and spring 2026 results pages say Verasight fielded those surveys.2,4

Founded by

  • Milan Singh (2024). The ISPS post names Milan Singh as a student founder of the poll.3
  • Jack Dozier (2024). The ISPS post names Jack Dozier as a student founder of the poll.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.

Says it does no work for parties or candidates. Its About page says it aims to provide nonpartisan data for policymakers, advocates and journalists; it does not say it works for candidates or parties.1

Of its 13 polls listed since the 2024 election, VoteHub flags 0 as paid for by a Democratic-aligned sponsor and 0 by a Republican-aligned sponsor5.

§5What we looked for and didn't find

  • No fieldwork vendor was named for the fall 2024 or spring 2025 polls on the pages read.
  • No standing news partner was found.
  • Searches for AAPOR statements, court cases, regulator actions, aggregator exclusion statements and retractions found nothing naming the poll; a Yale Daily News correction about a 2025 New York City primary poll fixes the newspaper's own article and is not a retraction by the poll.
