Geoff Garin (born 1953) is an American pollster, who served as co-chief strategist for the latter part of Senator Hillary Clinton's 2008 Presidential campaign. He was a pollster and strategist in 2011-2012 for Priorities USA Action, a superPAC that supported Barack Obama's reelection, and served in those same roles for Priorities USA in support of Hillary Clinton's election as president in 2016.^[1]

Garin is the president of Hart Research Associates, a survey research firm. He became president of Hart Research in 1984, after having worked in the firm since 1978 as a senior analyst and vice president. His work was used in the 2013 book The Kennedy Half-Century.^[2]

Garin has also worked for numerous politicians, such as Senators Max Baucus, Robert Byrd, John Rockefeller, and Hillary Clinton, and Virginia Governor Mark Warner.^[3]

Garin was hired in March 2008 as a pollster for Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign. Along with Howard Wolfson, he replaced Mark Penn as the Clinton Campaign's campaign coordinators in April 2008, after the Wall Street Journal revealed that Penn met with a Colombian official regarding a proposed free trade agreement opposed by Clinton and most labor unions.^[4][5] The New York Times speculated at the time that the change might lead to a less negative tone by the Clinton campaign.^[4]
