A new generation of progressives is rising — a generation unafraid to fight for what we believe in.
We are a multidisciplinary group of experts using state-of-the-art techniques in data science to support progressive activists and causes.
Our Mission
WHAT WE DO:
→ Voter File Analysis
→ Digital Communications
→ Polling
→ Policy Development
→ Message Guidance
Data for Progress is a progressive think tank and polling firm arming movements with the tools they need to fight for a more equitable future. Led by a team of policy and data experts, we produce quality polling, data-based messaging, and policy generation for progressive causes, campaigns, and candidates.
Our work has been cited by the White House and used by U.S. senators, representatives, and local progressive leaders across the country. We’ve been cited by the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS News, and hundreds of other trusted news organizations — from national outlets to papers and stations in small towns and big cities. And we’ve worked on some of the most exciting progressive campaigns in Democratic politics — as well as some of the most pressing issues of our time.
Our Reach
We have an unmatched earned media advantage that allows us to show millions of Americans the popularity of progressive ideas — and we’ve used that to build a comprehensive narrative to combat misinformation and bring popular, progressive causes to the forefront of politics.
Our social media advantage outpaces that of comparable think tanks, giving the progressive movement a powerful platform for quickly disseminating our ideas to a wide audience.
Most importantly, our polling margins are more accurate than our counterparts. We were cited among the most accurate pollsters in the 2020 election — and most recently, we had the most accurate polling of the 2021 New York City mayoral primary.
