With Numinar, you can easily understand who your voters are via our self-service poling feature! We understand you need to know whether you're ahead or behind and how to shape your strategy without breaking the bank. You can easily run a poll that can be used for a model to help your campaign or organization make a data-driven decision on who to conduct outreach to. To run a poll, first step is to create a survey sample list. Second step is to create a survey script. Thirdly, you create your survey project (text or IVR)!

Self-service polling in Numinar allows you to conduct political surveys and collect data independently, without the need for a third-party polling agency. It also allows users to tailor surveys to specific demographics or issues, gather real-time data, and gain insights into public opinion on political matters.

Numinar offer two ways to collect poling data: text surveys and IVR surveys.

IVR surveys are interactive voice recordings that deploy to landlines and voters dial their responses to the questions. Text surveys are an interactive message that voters text back their responses to the questions. Both surveys provide a way to collect unbiased polling data that can be used for a model.

It's recommended to have a mix of both IVR and text surveys when polling for a model. This is because landlines for IVR surveys skew to an older demographic and cell phones for text surveys to a younger one, so a mix provides a good representation!

Note, polling data for models should be unbiased, meaning the survey content doesn't name the campaign or ask leading questions. Instead, the survey should use the name of an affiliated consulting firm or organization to stay compliant with name attribution.

In addition to polling for a model, you can also send a poll for your own tracking purposes or even as persuasive outreach.
