NineFiveSix is proudly founded and run by South Texas natives who understand the region’s unique cultural, political, and economic landscape. We're based in the Rio Grande Valley and built our company from the ground up with a deep commitment to elevating local voices. Our bilingual team knows how to reach hard-to-reach communities, ensuring South Texas isn’t just studied, but accurately represented on its own terms.
Led by a PhD-trained social and political psychologist and backed by years of field and campaign experience, NineFiveSix Polling uses proven, rigorous methods to deliver accurate data. We combine traditional polling techniques with culturally competent survey design and high-quality respondent panels built specifically for South Texas. This results in statistically sound insights that organizations and leaders can act on with confidence.
At NineFiveSix Polling, we don’t just ask questions, we make sure they matter. From policy to perception, our surveys are built to answer the most pressing questions in South Texas. Whether you're a nonprofit, a candidate, or a civic organization, our work helps you understand the attitudes, needs, and priorities of the people you serve right now.
NineFiveSix Polling was founded to bridge a gap in understanding by giving voice to the people of South Texas through data that reflects who we really are. Too often, the Rio Grande Valley is misrepresented or overlooked by national polling firms that apply one-size-fits-all methods from afar. We started NineFiveSix because we believe our communities deserve to be accurately represented.
Through human-centered, relational polling, we study the Valley’s perception on key social, political, cultural, and economic trends that are crucial and relevant to daily life in South Texas. Our work blends rigorous data analysis with deep, on-the-ground engagement to produce insights that are both accurate and human-centered.
As a locally rooted team, we approach every survey and project with one guiding principle: South Texas deserves to speak for itself — and be heard clearly.
