Vic Fingerhut Campaigns
  Winning for Democrats, Labor and Other Progressive Groups

Whether it's winning an election, influencing public opinion, shaping government policy or strengthening your organization…Vic Fingerhut
can help

A pioneer among Democratic polling and media consultants, Vic has been behind almost every major “rally” for Democrats of the past three decades.

From developing the strategy that produced the 15-point, 8-million-vote rally for Hubert Humphrey in the final three weeks of the 1968 presidential campaign to his design of the media campaign (TV and radio) that Newt Gingrich personally blamed for defeating his “Contract with America,” Vic Fingerhut has been on the cutting edge in understanding the fundamentals shaping the choices of American voters -- particularly critical swing voters.

And not just in the United States.

A highly-trained political scientist and lecturer in comparative and international politics, Vic is one of the few polling and media consultants who fully understands the underlying motivations and message formulations that push voters either to the left or right.

Media strategies that Vic has designed have triggered some of the most dramatic movements in public opinion for progressive candidates, parties and labor movements in countries throughout the world – whether it was helping elect the current Mayor of Panama City, Panama or designing a successful campaign to modify party identifications of voters in the Canadian province of British Columbia.

You can have access to Vic's deep understanding of voter behavior to effectively structure your polling, winning radio and TV or simply to help you develop campaign messages that work.

"Getting Dukakis to reformulate just two sentences of his over-arching campaign message -- from an ineffective “competence” theme to the populist “which side are you on” -- shifted millions of voters and reduced Bush’s margin from 16 to 6 points in less than10 days ."
