What we do
Campaigns, causes, and organizations hire IVC Media to turn accurate polling into decisions they can act on — fast. Every engagement runs on the same methodology and rigor behind the public record above.
Candidate & Race Polling
Ballot-test governor, mayoral, and down-ballot contests against a modeled electorate, with first- and second-choice preference and the turnout assumptions stated up front.
Ballot-Measure & Reform Research
Gauge real support for election-reform measures — open primaries, ranked choice, Top Two — worded the way voters will meet them on the ballot.
Issue & Priority Research
Measure how intensely voters feel about the issues that decide a race — affordability, cost of living, immigration enforcement — not just where they stand.
Electorate Modeling & Targeting
Draw samples large enough to read subgroups with confidence — party, region, age, or community — off verified L2 voter-file records, so you can build and execute creative messaging to the exact voters you need to move.
Why IVC
Fast
Field to topline in days. MMS and voter-file-matched Meta placements reach voters directly, so decision-grade numbers land on your timeline — not the field house's.
Accurate
Verified L2 voter-file sampling, screened on real vote history and weighted to the modeled electorate. The rigor we publish is the rigor every client gets.
Actionable
Every read comes back cut by the subgroups that decide a race — party, region, community — with the analysis to tell you what to do about it, not just what the toplines say.
A public record of the polling we field — every one held to the same standard we bring to client work. Filter by the kind of research you need.

Get in touchWe disclose how every number was made.
IVC Media draws verified registered voters from the L2 voter file — our voter-file data partner — reaches them by MMS and voter-file-matched Meta placements, and weights every poll to the modeled electorate. For each poll above, the disclosures below travel with the result.
Working with us on a private project? You get the same standard — the same sampling, weighting, and stress-testing — held in confidence. We publish methodology and results only for the polls we field for the public; on a client project, the findings are yours and stay unpublished.

How we field a survey
- 01
Define
We scope the research question, the population, and the turnout model — typically voters with a documented record of recent primary and general elections.
- 02
Sample
We draw verified registered voters from the L2 voter file and screen on actual vote history, not self-reported intent.
- 03
Field
We reach respondents by MMS to verified cell records and Meta placements matched to the voter file, then drop duplicates and records that fail authentication.
- 04
Weight & disclose
We weight to the modeled electorate by party, age, gender, race, and geography, report the Kish effective sample size and margin of error, and publish the methodology with every number.
