Shop Talk: All About Adam

3/16/2009 | Shira Toeplitz

New Jersey-based GOP pollster Adam Geller has joined forces with the Washington, D.C., lobbying firm Clark Lytle & Geduldig to work on projects based in the nation’s capital.

Geller, most recently the pollster for the campaign of New Jersey Gov.-elect Chris Christie (R), has a 20-year track record of working with conservative Republicans. The Club for Growth has tapped Geller and his firm, National Research Inc., to poll on behalf of several of its endorsed candidates in recent cycles. Additionally, Geller has polled for Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), and Reps. Walter Jones Jr. (R-N.C.) and Leonard Lance (R-N.J.).

Geller and one of the firm’s namesake partners, Sam Geduldig, have been close friends for more than a decade. An alumnus of the offices of House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Geduldig works closely with GOP campaign officials and serves on the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Downtown Advisory Group.

“We’ve been very close friends since we met in 1995,” Geduldig said. “We’ve been talking about working together for as long as we’ve known each other.”

Geller served as vice president of the GOP media firm Jamestown Associates from 1997 until 2002, when he started his own polling firm. The New Jersey pollster has also worked for several survey firms, including Public Opinion Strategies and Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates.
