POLLING RESULTS YOU CAN COUNT ON

Denno Research is a full-service public opinion company located in Michigan. As a small, boutique firm, we do not contract out our work – you will always work directly with us.

You Deserve Better
Why have your poll conducted by a mega-polling firm that churns out numerous polls every month and treats you like a number? You deserve better!

Your poll is very important to us – it will not be just another poll that we will squeeze in between other clients. We are small enough to give your project the attention it deserves and have the experience to let you know what the public is really thinking.

Nationwide
We are located in Michigan and have conducted polls not only in Michigan, but nationwide, including in Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, and Wisconsin.

Accurate Polling
Your message is the difference between a successful or unsuccessful campaign, and fine-tuning that message comes from quality polling. Anyone can talk about issues like health care or how well their product works, but understanding what Americans want and how they react to and respond to the right message requires accurate polling.

We use our vast experience to craft a poll that asks the questions you want answered. We ensure that your poll is accurately phrased and properly executed.

Affordable Results
You will receive the attention to detail that large polling firms cannot provide. We will sit with you to learn about your campaign and about the opposition. We will then craft a poll that you can use to raise money, improve sales, or win your campaign.

We conduct many quality control steps to ensure that your poll is accurate. We offer you the results as soon as they are available. Once the poll is complete, we provide detailed crosstabs along with a written analysis that explains the results and how to use them to your advantage.
