Jeremy Zogby, Managing Partner

At age ten, Jeremy began working in the family polling business, conducting local fieldwork. Then, at age 15, he moved to making calls and doing data entry at the call center. He is now the Managing Director of Zogby Strategies.

Jeremy has a keen eye for finding unique stories and unseen opportunities within each data set and has offered communications insight and strategies to various clients, including political candidates, publicly traded companies, advocacy groups, cyber security, government, non-profit/philanthropy, and beyond. He conducts workshops on perfecting messaging and using data for meaningful strategies.

In 2022, Jeremy led a unique approach to polling – tracking Independent voters leading up to the November Midterms, spotting a trend, and forecasting independents leaning Democrat in key races due to Republican candidates’ stance on 2020 election fraud—hence no red wave, but instead, a generally poor performance by both parties.

Most recently, Jeremy was instrumental in RFK Jr. throwing his hat into the political arena and 2024 Presidential bid, serving as the lead Pollster and a strategist. He is a foremost expert on the independent vote’s importance in elections and policy-making, as well as the issues and policies shaping our current political landscape. He offers unbiased polling analysis and can instantly spot sound and unsound methodology by analyzing a poll’s crosstabs in minutes.

In addition to working with the family business over many years, he has over a decade of teaching history seminars abroad in Europe and the U.S. at the university and secondary levels utilizing his interactive focus group teaching style, also having served as the editor for the legendary and former President of Czech Republic Vaclav Havel’s annual conference of Statesmen and Spiritual Leaders where he worked closely with the former leadership that produced the Velvet Revolution. Before joining Zogby Strategies as a part owner, he worked with BNY Mellon’s Central New York Data Analytics team.

He co-hosts a weekly podcast with John titled The Zogby Report: Real & Unscripted (see Podcast tab above), in which they review the week’s top national and geopolitical stories from two very different points of view—he is also a frequent guest host on WUTQ’s Talk of the Town radio show.

His professional goal is to become the most accurate and leading pollster of the next generation.  He believes he is well on his way.
