The @GSG political polling practice is a diverse team of strategists passionate about advancing progressive causes and helping Democrats win.

It was a strong showing last night for our clients and friends in Iowa, with three critical nominees are headed to the general election:

✅ @turek4iowa secured the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. A two-time Paralympic gold medalist, state representative, and lifelong advocate for people with disabilities, Turek brings a compelling story and a record of public service to one of the country's most closely watched Senate races.

✅ @RobSandIA heads to the general election to fill the open seat for Iowa’s Governor. As Iowa's Auditor and the only Democrat currently holding statewide office, Sand has built a reputation for accountability and government oversight that resonates across party lines.

✅ @SarahforIowa advances in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District. A state senator and Lutheran minister with a history of winning tough races—having previously flipped a Republican-held state senate seat—she is now well-positioned to compete in a key congressional pickup opportunity.

Congratulations to our partners on a successful primary night. Onwards!

@Bobharvie_PA01 @VoteBobBrooks And credit to Governor @JoshShapiroPA, who helped rally support behind key Democratic candidates across the state. We’re proud to be part of this critical fight to keep the state blue and flip key House seats in November.

New data from @NavigatorSurvey:

Americans say Trump and Republicans are focused on the wrong things: Americans want a focus on the economy, but see them prioritizing foreign conflicts instead.

Thrilled to attend the We Are EMILY National Gala last night and hear from so many inspiring women candidates fighting for their communities and championing the issues that will move us forward this November.

Thank you to @emilyslist for hosting such an incredible evening!

[GSG Political @GSGPolitical]

This was a true team effort, and we’re grateful to our partners who helped make it possible, including @FairElectionsVA, @GMMB, AL Media, Moore Campaigns, and Potomac Waves Media.

As Trump urges MAGA governors to redraw maps for partisan gain, Virginia took action—passing a temporary measure to help level the playing field this fall.

We are proud to lead the research and messaging behind this win to protect democracy. https://t.co/RNi7Pr9jpJ

During Trump’s first term, positive economic sentiment gave many voters a reason to look past concerns. Now, that has changed.

As GSG’s @nickgourevitch puts it: "...that dynamic is nonexistent today.”

New from @politico: Our polling with client @SomosVotantes shows that Latino voters are moving away from Trump, but Dems haven’t closed the deal.

As GSG's @RnMendoz says: "Democrats, overall, are going to have to differentiate themselves...”

With rising oil and gas prices as a top concern about the war with Iran, Americans nearly unanimously see gas prices as rising – and three in five say by “a lot.”

This year’s @TheAAPC Pollie Awards marked a major moment for GSG and our partners!

GSG Partner Angie Kuefler was named Pollster of the Year—one of the top honors in our industry. Her work in 2025 helped power two historic gubernatorial wins, electing the first Democratic woman governor in New Jersey and the first woman governor in Virginia.

GSG Vice President Katie Drapcho was named to AAPC’s 40 Under 40, recognizing her leadership across some of the country’s most high-profile races including Governor Spanberger’s historic win to her continued work with Governor Hochul this cycle.

We also brought home two Pollie Awards for excellence in polling:

🏆 Best in Polling for Regional Campaign (Pennsylvanians for Judicial Fairness)
🏆 Best in Polling for Ballot Initiative (Save Maine Absentee Voting)

Grateful to our clients and partners. These wins are shared.

[GSG Political @GSGPolitical]

Huge congrats to Katie Drapcho on being named to @TheAAPC's 40 Under 40 🎉

Katie has shaped winning messaging in marquee races like @GovernorVA Spanberger’s big win last November and is working on many more this fall including @GovKathyHochul and others — her work reflects the rigor and insight that define the best in our field.

We couldn’t be prouder!

New data from @NavigatorSurvey:

Americans are net negative on U.S. military operation against Iran, though MAGA Republicans are strongly supportive. Most effective opposition frame: Trump’s wrong priorities, economic harm, and safety risks.

A big night for our clients and friends in Illinois last night!

@LtGovStratton won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, with the support from our clients at Illinois Future PAC, the main pro-Stratton Independent Expenditure. Stratton advanced a historic candidacy grounded in equity, opportunity, and economic justice. If she wins the general election, she will become the sixth Black woman senator in U.S. history.

Congratulations are also deserved for our long-time friend and client, Governor @JBPritzker. JB not only secured the Democratic nomination for Governor for the third time, but his strong support for his long-time governmental partner, Stratton, earned him plaudits across the Illinois and national press today, including praise from the New York Times, POLITICO, and many more. We look forward to helping get JB re-elected this fall alongside his new running mate, Christian Mitchell.

Other exciting wins by GSG clients include:

⭐ State Rep. Margaret Croke is the projected winner of the Democratic primary for Comptroller, bringing her focus on fiscal responsibility and transparency to the statewide stage.

⭐ Commissioner @Donna4Congress won her Democratic primary for Congress in IL-02, building on her record of leadership and advocacy for Illinois families.

⭐ Liz Granato won her Democratic primary for Cook County Commissioner in District 12, continuing her work to strengthen communities across the greater Chicago area.

New data from @NavigatorSurvey:

Americans do not want to move on from the Epstein files. They feel there should be more prosecutions of those involved, and perceptions of an Epstein class of elites who can do what they want with impunity are widespread.
