Greenberg and James Carville founded Democracy Corps, the leading organization providing in-depth research and strategic advice to progressive groups, candidates and leaders. When Karl Rove listed in the Wall Street Journal 10 steps to regain the Republican majority, step one was to create a Democracy Corps. The New York Times' Nate Silver rated their national polls the most accurate, within 1/2 point of Obama's actual margin.

His New York Times best-selling book with Carville - It's the Middle Class, Stupid! – was praised as a "recipe for Barack Obama's re-election" and "playbook on how to talk to voters about economic issues" that "Democrats and Republicans alike in the elite and political class should pay heed."

Stan's book, Dispatches from the War Room: In the Trenches with Five Extraordinary Leaders, led George Stephanopoulos to conclude, "No single strategist has done more to lay the foundation for modern progressive politics - across the globe."
