Politically Biased: Anti-Trump, Pro-DeSantis Poll Revealed To Be Tied To Bush, Romney, Rove, Ryan, And Soros-Linked Operatives

All RINO’s masquerading as Republicans

National Pulse

(National Pulse) Establishment Republican news outlets and talking heads have been gloating about a 500-person poll that puts Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a few points ahead of President Joe Biden in Arizona and Pennsylvania, while claiming Donald Trump would lose to the incumbent in the same scenario.

The problem, besides the sample size and lack of cross tabs released, is the so-called “pollster” and its relationship with leading Trump antagonists such as Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Karl Rove, and even billionaire progressive George Soros.

 

Public Opinion Strategies.

Founded in 1991 and run out of Alexandria, Virginia – a 15-minute trip into Washington, D.C. – Public Opinion Strategies or ‘POS’ appears to be part of a wider conglomerate known as ‘GP3’. The firm is almost entirely staffed by ‘Republican in Name Only’ (RINO) hardliners, including its founders Neil Newhouse, Bill McInturff, and Glen Bolger.

The firm’s first major races, in 1992, were that of hyper-establishment candidate Senator Arlen Specter, as well as Senator and failed presidential candidate John McCain. The firm boasts on its social media presence of Jeb Bush’s political career, as well as admitting to having worked on Mitt Romney’s campaign prior to 2012.

“The firm was part of the Bush-Cheney ’04 polling team,” their own documents suggest, adding that they went to work on John McCain’s losing effort against Barack Obama in 2008. Newhouse even did polling work for Jeb Bush’s aborted 2016 campaign against Donald Trump, and was the lead pollster for Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign failure.

Newhouse’s biography details his work for big pharmaceutical organizations such as Procter and Gamble, PhRMA, the American Medical Association, and even The Gates Foundation. He has also worked for Google and Stanford University, as well as for four Presidential campaigns – “Senator Bob Dole, President George W. Bush, Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and he was the lead pollster for Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign.”

More recently, the firm has been reliant on Karl Rove’s “American Crossroads” organization, as well as Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund, and even Ronna McDaniel’s Republican National Committee to pay the bills.

 

NMB Research.

The firm appears to have sometimes masqueraded as “NMB Research” – presumably named for its founders Newhouse, McInturff, and Bolger. Virginia records show NMB incorporated as a Limited Liability Corporation which sits next door to POS’s N Fayette street address in Alexandria.

The subject was broached by a 2012 NBC investigation which found that a “pro-Romney super pac, Restore Our Future, show[ed] five payments totaling $449,000 last month for ‘survey research’ to a company called NMB Research, listed at 206 N. Fayette Street, in Alexandria. This is on top of five previous payments to the same firm of $354.500.”

“An NBC researcher who visited the address found a sign instructing that all mail and packages for the offices of NMB Research be delivered next door at 214 N. Fayette, the street address of Public Opinion Strategies.”

The subject was raised because “[f]ederal election laws bar campaign and so-called ‘independent expenditure’ groups such as super pacs – which are unfettered by limits on campaign contributions– from ‘coordinating’ their operations, including sharing their polling results.”

The POS/NMB response was risible at best: “Public Opinion Strategies partner McInturff confirmed that he and Newhouse are both partners in NMB Research—an entirely permissible arrangement, he said, so long as the two polling entities do not share the data they collect for their respective clients.”

GP3. 

Today, POS appears to be part of a larger corporate structure with offices across the United States. Known simply ‘GP3’, some of the founders and staff have been less than shy about their views on the 2024 presidential race, if their social media is anything to go by.

In fact, one of the top GP3 partners, Phil Cox, “serves on the Board of the Senate Leadership Fund and WinRed, the GOP’s small-dollar fundraising platform,” raising a serious conflict of interest when you consider that Cox is named as a “senior advisor” to Governor Ron DeSantis for his gubernatorial campaigns.

GP3 appears to be part of a major private equity foray into Republican politics, as the Washington Post reported in November 2022:

Seidler Equity Partners, a private equity firm based in California, has taken a minority stake in a conglomerate of 10 firms. They include Public Opinion Strategies, a leading Republican polling firm; GuidePost Strategies, a bipartisan lobbying firm; and Bullpen Strategy Group, a consulting firm led by the GOP operative Joe Pounder.

Seidler’s investment will allow the conglomerate — known as GP3 Partners — to buy more companies in an effort to become a bigger player in Washington, said Darrell Lauterbach, GP3’s president and chief executive. The idea is to serve clients better by offering wider array of services under one umbrella.

“We’ve got 10 firms now,” Lauterbach said in an interview. “We will have probably 16 in fairly short order.”

Lauterbach ran his own mergers and acquisitions firm – DL Advisors – from Washington, D.C. The DL Advisors website is clear about Lauterbach’s background, stating: “As head of M&A for Golden Telecom (formerly – NASDAQ: GLDN), a George Soros-owned telecom company, Darrell led a consolidation and acquisition roll-up. The company spun out from the parent and executed the first NASDAQ listed IPO of a Russian-based telecom company.” [Emphasis added].

Moreover, Seidler Equity Partners lists as its second partner on its website none other than Tobin Ryan, brother of the wildly anti-Trump former Speaker Paul Ryan, now a senior executive at Fox News and also recently a Seidler advisor.

Another GP3 partner – Rich Beeson – “served as the Political Director for Romney for President in 2011-2012 and as the Deputy Campaign Manager for Marco Rubio for President in 2015-2016.
