Products and services

Morgan Poll

The Morgan Poll is a political polling service that tracks the voting intentions of Australian voters, which caters for detailed demographic and geographic analyses of the results and is widely reported.

The Worm

Roy Morgan developed the Worm, which first appeared on live TV on the Network Ten political talk program Face to Face.

This leading Audience Response Measurement technology was colloquially described as The Worm because of the live graphs that snake their way over the television screen, displaying the audience's reactions to visual stimuli (like for example an election debate) in real-time. After being commissioned to provide The Worm to the Nine Network for a decade, Roy Morgan discovered that Nine had secretly registered 'The Worm' as a trademark. Primarily as a result of an ensuing dispute, Roy Morgan changed the branding from The Worm to The Reactor in 2004 and continued to develop the product which is now primarily conducted online and via The Reactor mobile app.

Roy Morgan conducts the fieldwork for The Melbourne Institute's Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (HILDA).
