What to send in your enquiry

A good brief helps us advise on the right research approach from the start. If you already know whether you need a poll, survey, panel work, focus groups or face-to-face interviewing, say so. If not, send the decision or question you are trying to support and we will point you in the right direction.

  • Your organisation type and the team using the findings
  • The main questions you need answered
  • Who should be included, such as voters, consumers, members, staff or residents
  • The provinces, metros, towns or communities to cover
  • Your preferred timing, reporting format and any language requirements

Useful files and background material

You are welcome to attach supporting material through the enquiry form where relevant. This can save a round of clarification, especially on tracking work or when several stakeholders are involved.

  • A draft questionnaire or discussion guide
  • Previous survey waves or trend tables
  • Brand lists, product ranges or audience definitions
  • Maps, catchment notes or site lists for fieldwork
  • Policy papers, campaign restrictions or internal research notes

If you have screenshots, layouts or flow drawings for an online survey these also help, even if they are rough.

Where we work

Populism Polls is based in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and we run polls and survey research nationally across all nine provinces. We can organise phone and online studies across South Africa, and face-to-face field interviews in urban, peri-urban and rural areas in all official languages.

  • National and provincial polling
  • Consumer and brand surveys
  • Employee and member surveys
  • Focus groups and qualitative follow-ups
  • Sampling, weighting and method notes for reporting

Meetings and confidentiality

If an in-person discussion is useful, meetings in Braamfontein can be arranged through the contact form. Most project scoping can also be handled remotely, which often helps when teams are spread across provinces or where load-shedding affects planning.

We are non-partisan and we treat client briefs, draft questionnaires and findings confidentially. We do not campaign, canvass or predict election results, and we do not publish client data.
