Gallup, Inc. is a global analytics and advisory company headquartered in Washington, D.C.. Founded in 1935 by George Gallup, it initially gained recognition for its public opinion polls. Gallup conducts surveys to measure public opinion on political and economic issues and predict the outcomes of key events such as U.S. presidential elections. Gallup operates between 30 and 40 offices worldwide and has approximately 1,500 to 2,346 employees.
Beyond polling, Gallup provides analytics and management consulting to organizations globally. It offers services like employee engagement and team reporting for businesses, along with educational consulting, CliftonStrengths assessments, and books published via Gallup Press. In 2005, Gallup launched its World Poll, surveying citizens in over 160 countries on topics such as law and order, food and shelter, and well-being. Gallup's CEO is Jon Clifton, who has an 82% approval rating. Employee engagement is declining globally, and Gallup's 2025 report indicates that overwhelmed managers are central to this issue.
