Overview
The organization was founded after the 2012 presidential election, with the goal of giving Republicans high-volume, inexpensive "robo-polling." The organization was founded by Brock McCleary, who had served as the polling director of the NRCC in the 2012 cycle.[1] The organization was founded with the goal of emulating PPP, a left-leaning polling organization.[2] Harper Polling has received some backlash for not being able to call cellphones.[3] McCleary has been described as a "polling guru"[4] and in 2022 was recognized as one of the top 50 political consultants in Pennsylvania.[5]
In 2020, Harper Polling was acquired by market research firm Cygnal.[6][7] Harper Polling reestablished itself as an independent entity in June of 2025, again under the leadership of founder Brock McCleary.[8]
