Median Strategies, a polling firm that gained attention for releasing data showing wide leads for Democratic candidates in high-profile races, has officially closed its doors. The announcement came on Monday via a brief statement on the company’s website, which stated that the firm had “concluded its polling project and will not publish additional polls.”

The closure follows revelations that the firm had faked polling data regarding the Los Angeles mayoral race involving Karen Bass and the Wisconsin gubernatorial bid of Francesca Hong. While the firm’s public statement did not explicitly use the word “fraud” or “fabrication,” the shutdown coincides with widespread scrutiny regarding the accuracy and legitimacy of their methodology. The polls in question had suggested substantial margins of victory for both candidates, which later proved to be inconsistent with actual electoral outcomes and broader polling trends.

There is no public information available regarding potential legal repercussions for the firm or its leadership. The company has not provided further details on why the data was falsified or how the internal decision to shut down was reached. The move effectively ends the firm's involvement in political consulting and data analysis, leaving a void in the public record regarding the specific internal processes that led to the release of the inaccurate figures.
