"The thing that's so amazing about Verasight is our flexibility. We can do probability, non-probability, SMS, address-based sampling, traditional panels, and we own it and do it all ourselves."
Members of the Verasight team share what they love about Verasight.
Congratulations to @nutridaisuke and @NutritionCues on a new article in Obesity Science & Practice from @ObesitySociety and @WorldObesity, published with Verasight survey data.
"Prevalence and Correlates of Perceived Food Noise Among U.S. Adults in a Nationally Representative Sample" studies how many U.S. adults say they experience "food noise," the term for persistent food-related thoughts, and who reports it most.
Across a nationally representative survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, 50.89% reported experiencing food noise at least occasionally and 17.98% frequently. Frequent food noise was more common among women (22.70% vs. 12.68% of men) and among current and former GLP-1 users.
The data come from Verasight's free Society of Behavioral Medicine (@BehavioralMed) omnibus survey, fielded in May 2026.

Join Verasight co-founder and CEO Ben Leff on Thursday, November 19, for "Beyond the Polls: 2026 Midterm Debrief," a virtual panel from the Market Research Council (@MRXCouncil).
How close did the polls come to the 2026 midterm results, and what does that mean for researchers? Moderator John Bremer will lead a conversation with Ben and @lh_carter, partner at @BPIMedia. Each panelist will share their perspective on the polls and the results, followed by an open debate. Gina Pingitore of @CintGroup, who chairs programming for the MRC, will host.
The panel runs from 12 to 1 p.m. ET (9 to 10 a.m. PT) on Zoom. It is free for MRC members and $35 for non-members.

Verasight polled more than 52,000 registered voters during the 11 days leading up to the election for The Voter Poll by @ssrs_research, used by seven major news networks on election night.
Go behind the scenes with our team to see how we made it happen.
@SammyB42069 Thanks for flagging this! We know Venmo and PayPal withdrawals have been delayed, and getting them back up is our top priority.
Please email [email protected] so we can make sure you're taken care of.
National polls with Verasight data outperformed the polling averages.
Both final 2026 national polls with Verasight data came within about 2 points of the House popular vote margin, while the polling averages missed it by more than 4 points.
Verasight collected the data for both polls, working with Strength In Numbers and The Argument. The polls had Democrats ahead by 12 and 11 points among likely voters, respectively. Both are within the sampling margin of error of the current House popular vote margin of 13.2 percentage points, with more than 115 million votes counted. The polling average, by contrast, had Democrats ahead by 8.8 points. That 4.4-point miss was at least double the miss of either poll with Verasight data.

"A lot of people, when it comes to anything that has to do with nuclear energy, have this mental model of nuclear disaster, which is fair... it would not be a best approach to ignore that and just kind of walk into a community and pretend as if those mental models are just wrong."
Sara Ostad Rahimi, PhD Candidate in Science Communication at @UWMadison, on her work and her paper, published this year in the Journal of Risk Research, "Perceived risks, benefits, and support for siting energy infrastructure: comparing perceptions of carbon capture, nuclear fuel, and large-scale energy facilities."

"We really weren't seeing much variation between how the different conditions performed. So that makes for a harder paper to write, but it's also really good news for the people on the ground doing this type of communication... you can kind of go with whatever your strong suit is as a communicator."

"We replicated a Pew Research Center benchmarking study, and we actually outperformed all the non-probability samples."
Sami Fleischner, Client Solutions Associate Director at Verasight, on what makes Verasight Self-Serve different, from our webinar "How to Use Verasight Self-Serve."
In this clip:
1. Multi-mode recruitment. Panelists are recruited through random address-based sampling, random person-to-person text messaging, and dynamic online targeting.
2. Phone and voter file verification. Each panelist's mobile number must be registered with a major US carrier, and Validated Voters samples are matched to the L2 voter file.
3. Survey weights. Nationally Representative and Validated Voters surveys of 250 or more include survey weights at no extra charge.
Verasight outperformed all of the nonprobability samples Pew analyzed. Read the replication: https://t.co/Jvpp18JazD

"When it came to nuclear fuel storage, what was really fascinating was the second ranked option... they just said nothing. When we asked them what the benefit is, they said nothing."

"If you are a legislator in elected office and you know that you're going to be primarily evaluated based on what your party does, then all of a sudden your incentive to vote in the way that is more electorally beneficial... is a lot less... this is potentially how we get polarization."

I reviewed @ajtfosp's impressive book, A Tolerance for Inequality, for @PSQuarterly: https://t.co/RFtEUhE51D. I agree w/ most of Taylorโs claims, and offer additional evidence that political scientists have incorrectly concluded that policymakers ignore the economic middle.
โThe other thing to know about this is that it is a massive sample of voters. This is all 50 states, and it's more than 100,000 people.โ

"Proportional representation is the most effective way to eliminate gerrymandering because it eliminates the thing that makes gerrymandering possible, which is the single-member district with its infinite permutations."
@leedrutman, Senior Fellow in the Political Reform Program at @NewAmerica and co-founder of @FixOurHouse, on the New America and Fix Our House national poll on proportional representation.
The poll was fielded by Verasight.
