Political Polling

Elections provide a rare means for research companies to publicly test the accuracy of their methodology. Galaxy Research has become a leading force in political polling, widely acclaimed as being the most accurate of the published polls three times in a row – for the 2004 federal election, the 2006 Queensland and Victorian state elections.

This has captured the attention of the media, the public and the politicians themselves.

We believe our results speak for themselves.
