#push polls

[disregardcanon]

we’re talking about leading questions on surveys in polisci today and all i can thinking about is this trump survey that got sent to my democrat grandma because she lives in her dead republican mother’s house and us just sitting around making fun of it together but actually being kind of terrified because that’s the way that they’re actually affecting the public opinion of trump supporters right now, with questions that don’t even pretend to be unbiased.

This is the GOP asking, NOT ME:

For four years we have heard President Obama and his liberal allies tell us that Obamacare will shrink health care costs and create jobs. Today we know the opposite to be true, and we are sick of the Democrats’ trying to pull the wool over America’s eyes.

bombs away, kids...

The state attorney general is accusing Republican U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass's 2010 campaign committee of using a push poll against Democrat Ann Kuster that did not mention the call was on his behalf.

Push polling is when candidates commission phone calls that appear to ask voters questions as part of a survey or poll but largely serve to spread negative information about their opponents. The state's lawsuit, filed in Merrimack County Superior Court, seeks $400,000 in fines - up to $1,000 for each of the 400 calls allegedly made on behalf of Bass's campaign.

Scott Tranchemontagne, Bass's campaign spokesman, released a statement last night saying the campaign "has never conducted a push poll."
