It’s run by G. Elliot Morris, who ran 538 after corrupt Nate Silver was fired.

Civiqs is owned by Daily Kos, which has been complicit in enabling the rehabilitation of Silver’s reputation, reporting aggregate numbers from Silver’s new site, which is consistently reporting higher averages or better numbers for Trump and republicans because Silver continues to refuse to exclude flawed and biased polls designed specifically to manipulate polling averages.
