tippinsights is a data-driven news and analysis site powered by the TIPP Poll — the most accurate presidential poll of the 21st century. We tell stories rooted in data, offering readers the insights they need to understand what Americans actually think.
Founded by pollster Raghavan Mayur, tippinsights bridges the gap between raw survey data and the stories behind the numbers. Our original polling analysis sits alongside expert commentary, breaking news, and curated content from trusted sources.
What We Stand For
We stand for principles and policies — not political parties. Our editorial perspective is grounded in:
- Free-market capitalism
- Limited government
- Low taxes
- A strong national security agenda
When interpretation is needed, we label it as such. We even touch upon the uneasy topics that most tend to ignore or avoid.
What We Cover
Our coverage spans the topics that matter most to informed Americans: the economy and consumer trends, leadership and governance, national and global affairs, energy policy, healthcare, and the disruptive forces reshaping markets and society.
Every month, we publish original polling data through the TIPP indexes — including the Economic Optimism Index, the Presidential Leadership Index, and other proprietary trackers that are widely cited by media and analysts.
Our Track Record
The TIPP Poll is the only poll to accurately predict the winner of the last six U.S. presidential elections. Our full track record, with third-party citations from The New York Times, Washington Post, Fortune, Fox News, The Hill, and more, is available on our Track Record page.
