LEFT-CENTER BIAS
These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

Funded by / Ownership
Strength In Numbers is independently owned and operated by G. Elliott Morris. Revenue is generated primarily through paid Substack subscriptions and book sales, as described on his publications page. The site also conducts original polling in partnership with Verasight, publishing results via its poll archive and political data hub. There is no evidence of corporate ownership, advertising influence, or political party funding.
Analysis / Bias
Strength In Numbers is a data journalism platform centered on polling analysis and election modeling, pairing quantitative data with interpretive commentary. Articles routinely cite reputable polling organizations and publish toplines, crosstabs, and trend data. However, the site often draws clear editorial conclusions from the data that align with center-left political interpretations.
For example, Trump has made ICE a 70-30 issue — for Democrats uses polling to argue that Republican immigration enforcement has become politically unpopular, while Pardon my coup explicitly rejects strict neutrality in favor of defending democratic norms. Despite this framing, the analysis remains rooted in verifiable data rather than unsupported claims, and opposing data points are typically acknowledged.
