merely name recognition contests. As a matter of fact, the current push polls with Hillary on them are really just used as fund-raisers and used to attempt to bludgeon non-Hillary supporters into submission. Works for funds, probably, but has quite the opposite effect on the other.

Can't wait until I get to see what Hillary has decided her policy positions are. That would be a good starting point for a push poll - contrasting, somehow, words with actions.

Also hate the weaselly push polls that ask, basically, if you care if candidate X has stopped beating their kids.

The ones I've received were basically lies. Shrike47 Feb 2015 #3

Is this guilt by association? aspirant Feb 2015 #4

That's because they were probably arranged by liars. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Feb 2015 #6
