Data for Progress (DFP) is a progressive think tank, polling firm, and political advocacy group founded in 2018 by political activist Sean McElwee, computational scientist Colin McAuliffe, and political scientist Jon Green.[1][2]

Polling

Topics of polling conducted by Data for Progress include Social Security funding[3], the United States Postal Service[4], environmental policy[5][6] (including the Green New Deal[7][8]), proposals for Medicare for All[9], pharmaceutical drug pricing[10], capping credit card interest rates[11], reallocating funds appropriated to the defense budget to domestic services[12], North Korea–United States relations[13], environmentally sustainable housing[14], and the Authorization for Use of Military Force.[15]
