The rules of the road

By using PoliAgg you accept these terms. If you don't agree with any part of them, please don't use the site. Continued use after a terms update means you accept the updated terms; "last updated" at the top of this page tracks the most recent revision.

• The site itself — a static aggregation of publicly-available polling, prediction-market, and elections data, regenerated daily and served from Cloudflare's CDN.
• Underlying JSON — every chart on the site is backed by a JSON file at /data/<path>.json. These files are deliberately public; bookmarking or embedding them in a downstream dashboard is welcome.
• RSS / sitemap / OpenGraph — for syndication and search-engine indexing.

Site-original content (the editorial copy, the design, the methodology pages, the deterministic aggregation outputs) is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. You can copy, remix, and republish it for any purpose, commercial or not, provided you credit PoliAgg and your derivative work uses the same or a compatible license.

Upstream data has its own licenses. Wikipedia poll tables are CC BY-SA 4.0; Ballotpedia is CC BY-SA 4.0; GDELT is CC BY 4.0; the FEC API is public domain; state SoS data is generally public-record but governed by per-state policies. The canonical source-by-source attribution lives at/sources. If you republish data sourced from one of these upstreams, your obligations are to that upstream's license, not to ours.

• Don't hammer the servers. Cloudflare rate-limits/data/* at 100 requests per minute per IP. If you need higher throughput for research or a downstream service, fetch the underlying JSON files once and cache them on your end. Open an issue or email if you need a bulk export and we'll work with you.
• Don't misrepresent us. PoliAgg is a non-partisan data aggregator. Don't republish our outputs in a way that implies endorsement of a candidate, party, ballot measure, or policy position. The underlying poll data is what it is — interpretation belongs to the reader.
• Don't strip attribution. If you incorporate site- original content into your own work, retain the CC BY-SA attribution as required by the license.
• Don't use the site for unlawful purposes. Standard boilerplate — no breaking laws, no violating others' rights, no using PoliAgg to facilitate fraud or harassment.

PoliAgg is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We aggregate from many upstream sources that occasionally publish bad data, change their methodology, retract polls, or simply break. We surface the data we have and document our methodology at /methodology, but we don't guarantee that any specific number on this site is correct, current, or fit for any particular purpose.

Don't make consequential decisions on our numbers alone.The site is a starting point for research, not a primary source. If a poll's number matters to a decision you're making, follow the citation link to the original publisher and verify there.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PoliAgg's operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site, including but not limited to loss of profits, reputation, or data — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total cumulative liability to you is limited to USD $100.

The site loads scripts from third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare Web Analytics, Sentry, Google Fonts) — see /privacy for the full inventory and what each one does. Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms; we don't control their behavior beyond enabling or disabling them on our pages.

The site links to many external publications (poll citation URLs, news article links, source homepages). We don't control or endorse the content of linked sites; visit them at your own discretion.

We may update these terms when material things change — the services we use, regulatory requirements, or how we operate. The full revision history is in this file's git log. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. For changes that meaningfully affect your rights, we'll add a notice on the homepage for at least 30 days.

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of state and federal courts located in Texas.
