Using VoterPulse

VoterPulse does not provide audience sizing capabilities, so it is best suited for audience insights and intelligence. It should not be used for audience availability estimates or unique audience counts (avails/uniques).

1. To get started, either type your state into the box in the top-left corner or select it directly from the map.

2. Next, choose the Congressional District.

3. Once the voter segments for that district appear on the right, select the segments you’d like to compare and analyze, then click View Analysis.

  • Identify priority voter segments before launching media

  • Refine targeting based on geographic and audience insights

  • Inform messaging and channel strategy using voter characteristics

  • Align voter analysis with activation and media planning

VoterPulse provides a data-driven foundation for campaign strategy, helping teams understand who their voters are before deciding how and where to reach them.
