John Gerzema is the CEO of The Harris Poll, one of the most recognized names in American public opinion and market research. A four-time author and New York Times bestseller, he built a career turning consumer data into early warnings about cultural change, from the post-2008 values shift to the case for traditionally feminine leadership traits. He spent decades inside ad agencies like Fallon and Young & Rubicam before taking the helm of Harris in 2017, where he now turns weekly polling into a running read on the American mood.
Milan Singh is a writer and pollster based in Washington, DC, best known as the founder and director of the Yale Youth Poll, whose 2025 surveys forced a national conversation about the rightward drift of the youngest Gen Z voters. A 2026 Yale economics graduate from Cambridge, Massachusetts, he is a fellow at The Argument and a former researcher at Slow Boring, writing about polling, elections, inflation, housing, and the economy.
Patrick Ruffini is a Republican pollster and data strategist who co-founded Echelon Insights, one of the most accurate private polling firms in America. His 2023 book, 'Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP,' was later called by The New York Times 'the book that predicted the 2024 election.' A pioneer of digital campaigning who built Bush-Cheney's web operation in 2004, Ruffini has spent two decades arguing that the diploma divide, not race, is the fault line redrawing American politics.
