A great deal of attention is paid to federal races, particularly with the #2026Midterms fast approaching. But as Daniel Squadron highlights in his book "The Fourth Branch," state legislatures are where so much of the power resides. Watch our conversation: www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/new...

How do we move from diagnosing a problem to scalable solutions? Innovating for the Public Good: R&D for Democracy (IFPG) works through a four-step model: 1️⃣ Diagnose 2️⃣ Deep Research 3️⃣ Convene and Prototype 4️⃣ Adoption at Scale Explore our current projects: innovatingforpublicgood.org/projects/

Saving our democracy means restoring America as an aspirational country w/ equal voice & opportunity. Today, that vision is under strain—fewer rights, rising inequality & deep division. It’s time to reclaim & rebuild America. That is what IFPG was designed to do. open.substack.com/pub/innovati...

The American electorate is changing rapidly. The tools we use to understand them should too. That's why Electoral Innovation is a core pillar of IFPG — from pioneering work on Double Negative voters to new investments in electoral vote strategy. innovatingforpublicgood.org/electoral-in...

WHY IFPG? For decades, billions have been spent on elections while the foundations of democracy have been undermined. We can no longer focus only on short-term wins. It's time to strengthen the systems that make democracy trusted, resilient & built to endure. open.substack.com/pub/innovati...

At IFPG, we're studying how "us-versus-them" narratives work & how to counter them. @hartresearch.bsky.social & IFPG have identified what makes othering so effective, who is most susceptible to it & which messages can reduce its impact. Learn more: innovatingforpublicgood.org/navigating-t...

IFPG addresses foundational causes weakening democracy. Through our Narrative Innovation pillar, we’ve researched how those who threaten democracy use othering & blame to divide Americans and explain hardships. IFPG outlines ways to undercut these forces: innovatingforpublicgood.org/narrative-in...

What does it take to counter rising “us-versus-them” tactics ahead of the #Midterms2026? IFPG & @hartresearch.bsky.social’s comprehensive study includes a 5-part voter segmentation identifying key persuasion audiences, including “potential movers” & “pragmatic moderates.”

IFPG & @deweysquare.bsky.social examined how open different outlets are to AI crawlers — the tools that collect LLM training data — & found that low-factuality sites are often the most accessible to AI crawlers while highly factual sources are the least. innovatingforpublicgood.org/research-and...

NEW IFPG WEBSITE: As #Midterms2026 approach, IFPG has launched an updated website built around a simple idea: democracy needs more than election-cycle investments. It needs long-term R&D. Explore our work across four pillars shaping #DemocracyInnovation: innovatingforpublicgood.org

43% of voters are dissatisfied with both parties, according to a new @nytimes.com/Siena poll. At IFPG, we identified this electorate and gave it a name: Double Negatives. If we want to win elections, we need to be able to target them and have a model that does so. 🧵⬇️ www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/p...

For decades, democracy philanthropy focused on election cycles while the infrastructure that makes democracy resilient remained underfunded. IFPG was built to close that gap — delivering near-term impact while building long-term democratic strength. Learn more: innovatingforpublicgood.org

A new survey from @endcitizensunited.bsky.social shows Trump isn’t alone in being unpopular — voters have even lower approval ratings for members of Congress across the aisle, Senate/House leadership and the Supreme Court. Democrats can’t rely on Trump’s weakness alone to win in 2026.

New data from Hart Research builds on IFPG's ongoing work to counter “us versus them” tactics. The segmentation analysis breaks the electorate into 5 groups, including “potential movers” (27% of voters) & a "pragmatic moderate” group (10%), which represent the clearest persuasion opportunity.

IFPG founder @pagegardner.bsky.social joined @endcitizensunited.bsky.social's @tiffanymuller.bsky.social to talk new polling of 2K+ likely 2026 voters across 62 battleground districts. Corruption emerged as a top issue & voters want candidates to confront it directly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQBZ...

IFPG seeks to understand and address the foundational challenges facing our country and influencing voters. As part of that work, we recently released new research on “othering” — a powerful strategy used to divide Americans and consolidate political power. static1.squarespace.com/static/64528...

Recent research by Hart Research, in partnership with IFPG and PSG Consulting, tested ways to counter the “us vs. them” tactic of othering and found that for Democrats, messages focused on how we treat other people — delivered with conviction — are the strongest.
