Mark Penn is no longer Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist and pollster, but her former campaign guru is still putting polls about his old boss into the field — the ultimate insider is testing theories on how to make her electable during an outsider election.

The controversial consigliere of Clinton’s first presidential run now oversees the Stagwell Group, a private equity firm with $250 million in assets that on Thursday announced it had made its first purchase, the consulting firm SKDKnickerbocker.

But Penn, who also served as Bill Clinton’s longtime pollster, has not given up his passion for polling presidential elections -- or testing the waters for Hillary.
