10. THEY may feel the need to lie in a poll. But why would you think we need to do so?

Eg,

1a) Do you support the TPP? Bernie Sanders does not. Hillary Clinton does. Which of these candidates do you agree with?

That is not a lie, it is a fact. How would people respond? I would respond 'Bernie Sanders'.

1b) If Sanders runs for the WH would you support him over Hillary?

I would respond 'yes' to that also.

It's possible to create a push poll that is not based on lies, imo.
