We're raising funds to conduct a rigorous, nationally representative political poll ahead of the 2026 midterm elections - built on transparency, not partisan spin.
The Public Sentiment Institute National Poll 2026 will survey 500 registered voters across all 50 states, weighted by age, gender, race, education, and region to reflect the true makeup of America's electorate. A likely voter screen will be applied to the final data, so you'll see what the actual voting population thinks - not just who's registered.
Here's what your support funds:
- The poll covers everything that matters heading into 2026: voter enthusiasm and ballot readiness, the 2026 generic midterm ballot, 2028 presidential primary matchups, Trump's approval rating overall and by issue area, favorability of over 40 political and public figures, approval of 30+ specific policies, media consumption habits, and more.
- This isn't a push poll. It isn't funded by a party, a PAC, or a billionaire donor. It's independent research designed to give everyday Americans - and journalists, researchers, and civic organizations - an honest snapshot of where the country stands.
- Every dollar goes directly toward fieldwork costs on the Pollfish platform, data weighting, and public release of the full results.
Help us get this poll done. Real data. No agenda. Just the numbers.
