WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 8, 2025) – Cygnal, one of the nation’s fastest growing and most accurate private polling firms, released the following National Voter Trends (NVT) poll (conducted April 1-3) of 1,500 likely general election voters. “Democrats are making a lot of noise right now, but our latest national data shows they continue to be on the wrong side of issues where voters prefer the approach by Trump and Republicans,” said Pollster and Cygnal President, Brent Buchanan. “When you have nearly a quarter of Democrats refusing to say people who are here illegally as not having broken any U.S. law, or the 52 percent who support federal judges having power to overturn executive actions and laws, it shouldn’t be any wonder congressional Democrats continue to be 19 percent under water with Independents or why 42 percent of swing voters and 51 percent of parents prefer a Republican candidate in the upcoming midterms.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 12, 2025) – Cygnal, one of the nation’s fastest growing and most accurate private polling firms, released the following National Voter Trends (NVT) poll (conducted Mar. 3-5) of 1,500 likely 2026 general election voters. “President Trump is firing on all cylinders as he continues to fulfill his promises at home with decisive action on border security, he’s also making good on his promises to reassert America’s role on the international stage,” said Pollster and Director of Political Strategy, Mitch Brown. “Voters have an overwhelmingly favorable view of their country while also believing things are getting worse abroad. But they trust Trump on key areas like negotiating with Putin to end the war in Ukraine and getting tough on Iran and its proxies – not to mention countering China in economic power and military influence. Like many challenges on the home front, voters also understand international issues take time to resolve and that’s why, with just a few months into his second presidency, this new data shows Trump has plenty of room to chip away at these international conflicts and keep America first.”

The polling business isn’t for the faint of heart…and I don’t even mean the public polls. That’s a fraction of what us private pollsters do. Nate Silver, the godfather of ranking polling accuracy, just released his 2024 rankings over at the Silver Bulletin (and formerly through FiveThirtyEight). Overall, polling held up pretty well despite some banger misses, like the Iowa poll released days before the election.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Feb. 11, 2025) – Cygnal, one of the nation’s fastest growing and most accurate private polling firms, released its monthly National Voter Trend (NVT) poll (conducted February 4-5) of 1,500 likely general election voters. “Throughout the election we highlighted just how far out of touch Democrats had become from the American public, and now after Trump’s victory and a breakneck pace of action on his campaign promises, it’s pretty clear Dems haven’t learned much,” said Pollster and Cygnal President, Brent Buchanan. “Take the ticked-off, young, diverse, working-class voters that propelled Trump to the White House for example. They were a key constituency that gave Trump an edge over Harris as white voters stayed flat in their margin for Trump. Today, they’re not nearly as ticked-off, as they are more optimistic than ever about the direction of our country – in less than a month. If you’re on Team Trump right now, you’ve got to be feeling good about these numbers and quick progress they’ve made already with voters.”
