HARSTAD STRATEGIC RESEARCH is a research firm specializing in political polling, PR research, market research, and strategic consulting. The firm's range of client experience includes elected officials, trade associations, public interest organizations, education and health institutions, and telecommunications.

HARSTAD STRATEGIC RESEARCH CEO Paul Harstad has over a quarter century experience in political and market research and consulting. He has achieved a remarkable record of winning elections and offering successful and innovative strategies for positioning, messaging, marketing, and targeting.

In 2006, we helped elect Claire McCaskill -- in perhaps the toughest Senate pick-up for Democrats -- and for the second time we helped make the difference in control of the U.S. Senate.

In 2004, Paul Harstad and HARSTAD STRATEGIC RESEARCH bucked
national trends and won
the only two new Democratic U.S. Senate seats:
Ken Salazar of Colorado
and Barack Obama of Illinois.

We design research specifically to produce actionable results.
We are motivated by client success.
We measure success in terms of electoral victories, customer satisfaction, effective messaging, image enhancement, and market share.
