“The source of the extensive, private polling data on the 2016 Republican presidential field was shrouded in secrecy. But its conclusions were widely felt,” the New York Times reports.
“The data jolted Mitt Romney when it was shared with him, encouraging him to weigh running for president a third time, and has since given comfort to former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, the all-but-announced candidate for the Republican nomination.”
“Now, the identity of the wealthy Republican donor who commissioned the polling is no longer a mystery: It was, according to people interviewed on the matter, Muneer A. Satter, a former partner at Goldman Sachs and a major Republican donor in Chicago.”
