History

Perspective
The company first publicly released its polls in 2022. After being recognized by Nate Silver and FiveThirtyEight,[2] the company quickly garnered attention due to its founder's youth, as Ruggieri was still a high school student at the time of its establishment.[3] Patriot Polling has been criticized for its methodology and for an apparent bias towards the Republican Party.[4]
The company achieved a significant milestone in 2024 when it accurately predicted the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.[5] Despite this success, its earlier track record was inconsistent, as many of its polls during the 2022 United States elections were criticized for inaccuracies, leading to questions about its reliability.[6]
Patriot Polling made international headlines in January 2025 with a controversial survey conducted in Greenland.[7][8][9] The poll claimed that a majority of Greenlanders supported joining the United States, sparking widespread debate.[10] The findings were amplified by several Donald Trump-affiliated political figures and Russian state media, drawing attention to the geopolitical implications of the poll.[11][12]
The survey faced backlash from Greenlandic authorities and international experts, including some who questioned its sampling methods and validity, further fueling controversy.[13] Former Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen claimed that it contributed to "the most serious foreign policy crisis."[14] Professor Scott Lucas from University College Dublin, claimed that the company's methods "looks like classical push polling".[15]
