Brent Buchanan is President & Founder of Cygnal, an innovation-driven public opinion polling and predictive analytics firm. He started the company in 2007 as a regional general consulting firm but transitioned the organization in 2017 to focus fully on solving the problems with political polling and the insights industry. It worked! The New York Times recognized Cygnal as the most accurate private polling firm in the nation in the 2018 election cycle, and FiveThirtyEight has ranked them the most accurate Republican pollster. The firm has served as pollster on international, presidential, US Senate, gubernatorial, congressional, state legislative, and local races. Brent doesn’t know what free time is, because his most important priority is his wife of 12 years and five children age 11 and under.
