Change Research is a polling firm based in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1] [2] It was first incorporated as a public benefit corporation in July 2017 by Mike Greenfield, a former data scientist at PayPal and LinkedIn, and Pat Reilly, a former Democratic Party campaign operative. Unlike many other pollsters, Change Research conducts all of its polls online.[1] [3] [4] It claims to offer accurate and inexpensive online polling. Its clients have included Democratic political candidates such as Lauren Underwood, who won a race in Illinois's 14th congressional district in 2018, as well as organizations such as the NAACP and AFL–CIO.[5] [6] In 2021, FiveThirtyEight ranked Change Research a "B−" for its historical accuracy and polling methodology and noted that it called 75% of races correctly.[7]
