ABOUT US

OUR VISION

We strive to restore American self-governance in harmony with the founding principles of our nation, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Our Mission

To amplify and magnify the voice of the American people so powerfully that it reshapes the critical cultural, political, and policy conversations across the nation.

Our Story

Founded in the legacy of Joe Napolitan, a pioneer in bipartisan political consulting and polling, the Napolitan Institute carries forward his belief in listening to and respecting the intelligence of everyday Americans. Joe Napolitan, renowned as the “father of political consulting,” revolutionized American politics by bridging divides and creating the polling industry as we know it today. His foundational work, detailed in his influential book, “The Election Game and How to Win It“, underscored the importance of honest communication and genuine understanding between political leaders and voters.

At the Napolitan Institute, we embrace this legacy through rigorous, unbiased polling and deep insights into American sentiment. Our goal is simple but profound: to return America’s political narrative to the common-sense wisdom of the people.
