The Tarrance Group named 2014 AAPC Republican Pollster of the Year. The Tarrance Group played a key role in Congressional, Senate and gubernatorial contests throughout 2014, including defending targeted seats in Colorado and Michigan, winning tough Democratic-held districts in Illinois and West Virginia, while helping the Republicans secure a takeover of the Senate in key IE campaigns in North Carolina and Alaska. In addition, the Tarrance Group played a pivotal role in defending three targeted Midwestern Republican governors in Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan.
