Biden campaign beefs up its polling operation

Source: Politico

President Joe Biden’s campaign is bringing on a slate of new pollsters to lead its number-crunching operation.

The group, which features several pollsters involved in efforts around Democrats’ stronger-than-expected 2022 midterms, reflect a continued shift to broaden Biden’s polling operation beyond the team that worked on his first successful campaign against former President Donald Trump. The moves were shared first with POLITICO.

Several new pollsters, who were not directly involved in the 2020 Biden campaign, will be joining the shop: Geoff Garin, who has led research for major progressive advocacy groups and unions; and Jefrey Pollock, who has worked for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen. Garin and Pollock led a project in 2022 that helped define Biden’s rhetoric around “MAGA Republicans.”

Molly Murphy, who served as the lead polling adviser to the Democratic Congressional Campaign in 2022 and advised North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Brenda Lee, who specializes in Black voters and also advised the DCCC’s independent expenditure unit in recent cycles, are also new additions.

It almost sounds as if they think polling is a useful tool.

Let’s hope the pollsters hired by the campaign are “in it to win it”, and not just to drain the campaign of resources by advocating status quo/conventional wisdom/politics as usual


(Like Mark Penn did with HRC in 2016)
