Civic data that shapes civic participation and guides organizing.
Murmuration develops data-driven insights about people, places, and perspectives that help our partners understand the beliefs of people in their communities and the forces that are impacting their daily lives. Our approach to research equips organizations with the insights they need to create connections to transform systems and cultures.
We offer a comprehensive perspective of life, public sentiment, and community conditions across the country.
Civic Pulse tracks Americans' well-being and civic attitudes through hundreds of daily surveys across the country, connecting personal experiences to civic outlooks and behaviors for real-time, localized insights that traditional polls miss. By analyzing thousands of open-ended responses every week, we uncover patterns and insights about what it feels like to live in America, helping those on the front lines of democracy better connect with the people they serve. Murmuration’s Substack highlights Civic Pulse data through compelling stories that help readers deepen their understanding of how American civic life is evolving—and what that means for the future.
Our in-house, nationally representative survey panel elevates lived experience, local priorities, and community perspectives.
Community Voices is one of the largest and most rigorously maintained public opinion panels in the United States, with more than a decade of continuous daily data and hundreds of millions of survey responses. This longitudinal, high-frequency listening system supports organizers, nonprofits, journalists, and researchers alike and enables early detection of emerging concerns, evidence-based decision-making, and richer storytelling grounded in real community sentiment.
Research Partnerships
Murmuration approaches research as a collaborative endeavor motivated by common purpose, mutual respect, and scientific integrity. We equip our research partner organizations with timely and accurate data that grounds their efforts in an honest, realistic, and shared understanding of their communities and the people who reside in them. The findings from Murmuration research projects inform the work of our network of hundreds of community organizing partners across the country–making sure that those leading at the local level have the insights they need to help their communities thrive.
