Fred Yang, CEO of Hart Research Associates and a founding principal of Hart’s political division, is unmatched at translating survey research and dry statistics into cogent and compelling political analysis. 

A perennially popular WDC speaker, Mr. Yang explained how pollsters came up with their expected winners and losers. He discussed why some races turn out dramatically differently than the pundits’ predictions, and which demographic groups made the difference in various races.

A regular contributor to network and cable news programs, Mr. Yang has been part of NBC News coverage of the national election returns since 2008. Currently, he also collaborates with Republican pollster Bill McInturff on the monthly NBC News/Wall Street Journal national survey—widely regarded as a barometer of American opinion.

This insider's view of the 2022 election cycle was interesting and fun! Watch here. You can also view Yang’s slide presentation here.
