Frank Luntz Biography:
Frank Luntz is one of the most honored communication professionals in America today. “The Nostradamus of pollsters,” said Sir David Frost, while Time Magazine named him one of “50 of America’s most promising leaders aged 40 and under,” and Newsweek identified him as #24 (tied) on their 2010 Power Elite survey. And this year, he finished #87th in a Time magazine global poll of the “most influential people in the world.”
Frank was named one of the four “Top Research Minds” by Business Week, “the hottest pollster” by The Boston Globe, and was a winner of the coveted Washington Post “Crystal Ball” award for being the most accurate pundit. His focus groups have become so influential that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama had this to say following the PBS presidential debate, “When Frank Luntz invites you to talk to his focus group, you talk to his focus group.”
The “Instant Response” focus group technique pioneered by Frank has been profiled on 60 Minutes, Good Morning America (on Election Day 2008) and on the award-winning PBS show Frontline. He has been a guest on virtually every talk show in America, including multiple appearances on The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert and Real Time with Bill Maher, as well as Meet the Press, Nightline, The Today Show, Charlie Rose, The Jim Lehrer News Hour, The O’Reilly Factor, and Tavis Smiley. He also served as a consultant to the award-winning NBC hit show The West Wing.
More media outlets have turned to Dr. Luntz to understand the hopes and fears of Americans than to any other political pollster. Since 2008, Frank has been the “Focus Group Czar” for Fox News, conducting almost 100 sessions in over 20 states, as well as co-hosting several live hour-long prime time specials and dial sessions during every presidential debate. In 2011, Frank was the only non-journalist invited to host a debate of the GOP presidential contenders in Des Moines, Iowa.
Luntz was a primary night and election night commentator for The News with Brian Williams on MSNBC in 2000 and for Hardball in 2004. His reoccurring segments on MSNBC/CNBC, 100 Days, 1000 Voices won the coveted Emmy Award in 2001. Frank has conducted focus group sessions for all three broadcast networks, two of the three cable news channels, PBS and the BBC, as well as for The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The New Yorker, The Times of London, and U.S. News & World Report.
Dr. Luntz has written, supervised, and conducted more than 2,500 surveys, focus groups, ad tests, and dial sessions in over two dozen countries and four continents over the past twenty years. His political knowledge and skills are recognized globally, and he has served as an election consultant and commentator in Canada, Britain, Ireland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Australia, Venezuela, and Ukraine.
Frank is the author of The New York Times best seller Words that Work: It’s Not What You Say It’s What People Hear. Now out in paperback, the book explores the art and science of language creation. His second book, What Americans Really Want … Really reached #18 on the bestseller list, addresses the private hopes, dreams and fears of the American people. His most recent book, WIN, reached #3 on the New York Times Business Best Seller List in its first month in print. He has written about the power of language for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times, The Times of London, and The Washington Post.
When he is not consulting, Dr. Luntz can often be found in front of a classroom. From 1989 until 1996, he was an Adjunct Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He has also taught courses at Harvard and George Washington University. Frank graduated with an honors degree in history and political science from the University of Pennsylvania, and was awarded a Thouron Fellowship. He received his Doctorate in Politics at the age of 25 from Oxford University. He spoke for 24 straight hours as part of the Oxford Union Society’s Guinness World Book of Records debate. In the spring of 1993, Frank was named a Fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics, the second youngest individual ever to receive this honor.
