tippinsights site provides its readers with original, premium content on a wide range of relevant and unique topics, based on our famous TIPP Poll and surveys.
The TIPP Poll has been around for 30 years. We have conducted surveys on diverse topics and issues - from economic outlook to customer satisfaction, from concept testing to market trends - which are of deep interest to the layperson and the experts. The TIPP Poll has the much-coveted distinction as the most accurate poll of this century, being the only poll to accurately predict the winner of the last five U.S. presidential elections.
tippinsights articles will tell a story – often rooted in data. These statistics generated by comprehensive, statistically sound surveys convey what the average American thinks. We aim to provide objective information and thoughts. We stand for principles and policies – free-market capitalism, limited government, low taxes, and a strong national security agenda – and not by political parties.
tippinsights articles summarize insights and data collected by us, representing the public's sentiments on various matters from current affairs to the latest tech. They are authored by analysts, experts, industry leaders, and other contributors who bring a deep understanding of their domain to the topics at hand. Consequently, each article intends to fill the information gap with data-driven stories and other insights. When interpretation is needed, it will be labeled as such. We will even touch upon those uneasy topics that most tend to ignore or avoid.
tippinsights will have a marked focus on key areas such as
- Leadership and Governance
- The economy – current state, trends, and the future
- Current affairs – National and Global
- Consumer trends – changes brought about by the dynamics of the changing consumer behavior, disruptive technologies, and market forces
- Automotive industry
- Energy policy
- Health care
- Thought leadership
