US public opinion research institute
The Monmouth University Polling Institute was a public opinion research institute located on the Monmouth University campus in West Long Branch, New Jersey. The Polling Institute was established in 2005, and was led by director Patrick Murray.[1]
In 2022, the polling analysis website FiveThirtyEight had 120 Monmouth polls in its database, and gave the polling institute an “A” grade on the basis of its historical accuracy and methodology.[2] The poll appeared on the list in 2014 with an A-minus, and received an A-plus in 2016, 2018 and 2020. The Institute is a signatory to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) Transparency Initiative.[1] The Monmouth University Polling Institute closed in July 2025.[3]
The Monmouth University Poll was conducted in a multi-modal fashion, incorporating phone calls to landlines and cell phones, and online surveys delivered through text and email. Sample selection was conducted on a case-by-case basis depending on the survey topics. Polls were weighted for demographic factors like age and also incorporated partisan affiliation for political polls.[4]
In 2009, the institute’s gubernatorial polling received national attention, including findings that indicated the eventual winner Chris Christie‘s weight was an issue for voters in the campaign.[5]
In 2010, the institute’s director Patrick Murray was named “Pollster of the Year” by PolitickerNJ and one of the 100 most influential people in New Jersey politics.[6][7] Murray is an occasional contributor to the Huffington Post‘s Pollster page.[8][9]
The polling institute closed on July 1, 2025. University president Patrick F. Leahy attributed the closure to the “considerable resources required” to operate the institute.[3]
