Jeremy Zogby, Managing Partner

Like many of his family members, Jeremy began working with his father at age ten, conducting local fieldwork with paper surveys on a clipboard. Then at age 15, he moved to making calls and doing data entry at the call center. He is now the Managing Partner.

Jeremy has a keen eye for finding unique stories and unseen opportunities within each data set and has offered insight and direction 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. As early as December 2019, at AARP’s annual conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., Jeremy forecasted tectonic changes in 2020 in a speech titled “The End of the Post-War Regime.” Weeks later, covid changed the world.

In March 2020, he began chronicling polling data, insights, and forecasts in a biweekly report, the Main St. – K St. IntelligenSEER (see Insights tab above).  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 bringing RFK Jr. into the political arena, with polling commissioned independently by himself. Jeremy served as an independent and the lead pollster for Kennedy’s 2024 presidential campaign (not part of the committee) and is a foremost expert on the independent vote, our dynamic political landscape, and issues/trends shaping the most pivotal election in decades (2024). 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 StrategiesSM 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.
